Preface
The autonomic innervation of the heart is an integrative part of the physiology of cardiac performance. It is well recognized that cardiac innervation plays an eminent role in the adaptation of cardiac function to daily life. Autonomic innervation of the heart is also known to be an important part of the pathophysiology of various cardiovascular diseases.
