The aim of this book is to focus on the important relationships
between the heart and the brain in health and disease. The brain
and nervous system may cause or influence heart disease, e. g. , by
causing arrhythmias or modi- fying the response to ischemia.
Disorders of the heart and circulation may cause brain damage, e.
g. , by releasing emboli resulting in cerebral infarc- tion.
Furthermore, both the brain and the heart are frequently targets of
the same disease process. The heart and brain have
electrophysiologically active cells, which may respond in similar
ways to diseases and various interventions. Finally, many drugs
affect both the brain and the heart, and drugs used for heart
diseases usually have side effects on the brain and vice versa.
With today's increasing subspecialization in medicine, we feel the
time has come to present a book that integrates basic and clinical
aspects of cardiology, neurology, cardiovascular surgery, and
neurosurgery. We hope this cross fertilization will broaden
horizons and advance both understand- ing and practice. This book
is based on a symposium held at the University of TromS!/l, Norway,
24-27 June 1987, organized by Ilmar A. Sulg, Knut Rasmussen, Svein
Ivar Mellgren, Dag S!/lrlie, and Helge Refsum of the Departments of
Clinical Neurophysiology, Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, and
Physiology, respectively. Weare grateful to the distinguished group
of contributors for not only outlining their pioneering studies,
but also describing their recent work and indicating important
possibilities for the future.
