One such complication is heart arrhythmias that can occur as a result of
neurocardiac modulation.
Although underlying biological mechanisms that might link metal exposures to cardiac autonomic dysfunction are unidentified,
neurocardiac effects mediated through oxidative stress, enzymatic inhibition, and impaired antioxidant metabolism may play a role (Hearse 1991; Jomova and Valko 2011; Rhoden et al.
Within Neuroprosthetics devices, Motor Neuroprosthetics segment would garner the largest market share, owing to numerous applications such as Parkinson's disease,
Neurocardiac disorders, Over Active Bladder syndrome and Epilepsy
Heart rate variability is considered a measure of
neurocardiac function that reflects heart-brain interactions and the dynamics of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system.
The
NeuroCardiac Care Program at CHOP was the first multidisciplinary program to assess congenital heart disease patients for neurodevelopmental complications, learning disabilities and behavioral concerns, such as being diagnosed with ADHD when children attain school age.
associate chief of cardiology and director of the
NeuroCardiac Care Program at Children's Hospital.
In the
NeuroCardiac Care Program, children and their families are evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist, pediatric neurologist, developmental pediatrician, occupational and physical therapists, a speech and language pathologist, a dietician and social worker - all during one outpatient visit.
