The heart receives parasympathetic and to a lesser degree sympathetic input via the vagus nerve. Here, we investigated whether morphological changes of the cervical vagus nerves (VN) as assessed by high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) correlated with the autonomic cardiac innervation. Measurement of heart rate variability (HRV) and HRUS of the VNs were performed in 88 healthy subjects (50 female; mean age 56 ± 18 years). HRV parameters and the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the VNs correlated both inversely with age. We also found an inverse correlation between the left VN-CSA and HRV as well as parasympathetic parameters. The results imply an asymmetric parasympathetic (vagal) innervation of the heart.
心脏通过迷走神经接收副交感神经输入,程度较轻时还会接收交感神经输入。在这里,我们研究了通过高分辨率超声(HRUS)评估的颈迷走神经(VN)的形态变化是否与自主心脏神经支配相关。在 88 名健康受试者(50 名女性;平均年龄 56±18 岁)中进行了心率变异性(HRV)和 HRUS 的测量。HRV 参数和 VN 的横截面积(CSA)均与年龄呈负相关。我们还发现左 VN-CSA 与 HRV 以及副交感神经参数呈负相关。结果表明心脏存在不对称的副交感神经(迷走神经)支配。
