Résumé : This book looks at how neurons from the level of the heart to the sensorium exert control over cardiac electrical and mechanical events over a lifetime. The book's strength is in the tying together of scientific and clinical information on how the components of neural control of the heart remodel during the evolution of cardiac pathologies.
