Brief description Increased activity from the parts of the brain which regulate blood pressure is observed in patients with cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure and heart failure. In some cases this increased activity might actually cause the high blood pressure. In all cases this increased activity can lead to serious complications including arrhythmias of the heart, enlargement of the heart and blood vessels, and even sudden cardiac death. This project aims to understand in more detail the parts of the brain that generate this activity. This information will enable more selective and effective treatments to be developed for people with high blood pressure or heart failure.
