Emotions and Heart-Activity Control

Neurocircuitries and Pathway Interactions

  • Chapter
The Nervous System and the Heart

Abstract

Happiness, sadness, anger, anxiety, fear, love, hate, panic, and many other conditions that affect the emotional state of human beings are accompanied by alterations of heart rate and blood pressure, as everyone may know from own experience. Anger and chronic stress have been associated with the occurrence of cardiac diseases like sudden death, arrhythmias, and myocardial infarctions. Regional damage to the central nervous system also may affect emotions and the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
