Cardiac vagal tone; Lyme disease |
| Core Tip |
Given that immune dysfunction, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, orthostatic palpitations, syncope, and stress, which may occur in Lyme disease, are associated with parasympathetic activity and reduced modulation of cardiac vagal tone, we hypothesized that modulation of cardiac vagal tone is impaired in this disease. This was confirmed in our study of 18 patients and 18 matched controls. Cardiac vagal tone is reflexly generated through arterial baroreceptor stimulation, by the afferents of the latter facilitating cardiac vagal motoneuron discharge relaying through interneurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius, implying that Lyme disease may directly affect the vagus or brainstem. |
