Surgical excision of the heart from the donor results in the immediate denervation of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous fibers. This chapter will provide a comprehensive overview of the denervation and electrophysiology of the transplanted heart and the resulting changes in heart rate regulation and exercise capacity. The chapter also covers the reinnervation process and explores differences in the response to medications in the transplanted heart.

摘要

Surgical excision of the heart from the donor results in the immediate denervation of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous fibers. This chapter will provide a comprehensive overview of the denervation and electrophysiology of the transplanted heart and the resulting changes in heart rate regulation and exercise capacity. The chapter also covers the reinnervation process and explores differences in the response to medications in the transplanted heart.
