Can strenuous exercise harm the heart? Insights from a study of cardiovascular neural regulation in amateur triathletes
Dalla Vecchia, Laura Adelaide; Barbic, Franca; De María, Beatrice; Cozzolino, Domenico; Gatti, Roberto; Dipaola, Franca; Brunetta, Enrico; Zamunér, Antonio; Porta, Alberto; Furlan, Raffaello (2019)Regular exercise is recommended to improve the cardiovascular risk profile. However, there is growing evidence that extreme volumes and intensity of long-term exertion may increase the risk of acute cardiac events. The aim ...

Cardiac and vascular sympathetic baroreflex control during orthostatic pre-syncope
Furlan, Raffaello; Heusser, Karsten; Minonzio, Maura; Shiffer, Dana; Cairo, Beatrice; Tank, Jens; Jordan, Jens; Diedrich, André; Gauger, Peter; Zamuner, Roberto A.; Dipaola, Franca; Porta, Alberto; Barbic, Franca (2019)We hypothesized that sympathetic baroreflex mediated uncoupling between neural sympathetic discharge pattern and arterial pressure (AP) fluctuations at 0.1 Hz during baroreceptor unloading might promote orthostatic ...

Effects of prolonged head-down bed rest on cardiac and vascular baroreceptor modulation and orthostatic tolerance in healthy individuals
Barbic, Franca; Heusser, Karsten; Minonzio, Maura; Shiffer, Dana; Cairo, Beatrice; Tank, Jens; Jordan, Jens; Diedrich, André; Gauger, Peter; Zamuner, Roberto A.; Porta, Alberto; Furlan, Raffaello (2019)Orthostatic intolerance commonly occurs after prolonged bed rest, thus increasing the risk of syncope and falls. Baroreflex-mediated adjustments of heart rate and sympathetic vasomotor activity (muscle sympathetic nerve ...

Mechanical somatosensory stimulation decreases blood pressure in patients with Parkinson's disease
Zamunér, Antonio; Shiffer, Dana; Barbic, Franca; Minonzio, Maura; Andrade, Carolina P.; Corato, Manuel; Lalli, Stefania; Dipaola, Franca; Cairo, Beatrice; Albanese, Alberto; Porta, Alberto; Furlan, Raffaello (2019)Objective: The current study aimed to assess the effects of five cycles of automated mechanical somatosensory stimulation (AMSS) of the fore-feet on blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular autonomic control in Parkinson's ...

Soluble interleukin-1 receptor type 2 plasma levels in Parkinson’s disease: relationship with cardiac autonomic profile before and after peripheral mechanical somatosensory stimulation
Shiffer, Dana; Zamunér, Antonio; Minonzio, Maura; Bulgheroni, Mara; Porta, Alberto; Leone, Roberto; Bottazzi, Barbara; Garlanda, Cecilia; Colotta, Francesco; Barbic, Franca; Mantovani, Alberto; Furlan, Raffaello (2023)Introduction: Systemic inflammation promotes neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Interleukin-1 receptor type 2 (sIL-1R2) plasma levels increase during inflammation. Data on sIL-1R2 in PD patients and its ...

Work ability assessment and its relationship with cardiovascular autonomic profile in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
Barbic, Franca; Minonzio, Maura; Cairo, Beatrice; Shiffer, Dana; Zamunér, Antonio; Cavalieri, Silvia; Dipaola, Franca; Magnavita, Nicola; Porta, Alberto; Furlan, Raffaello (2020)Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) negatively impacts quality of life. The excessive increase in cardiac sympathetic modulation during standing, which characterizes POTS patients, leads to many symptoms and ...
