Key result
This editorial summarizes recent findings on cardiorespiratory coupling, highlighting novel insights into physiologic and pathogenic mechanisms and potential therapeutic advancements.
Highlights the growing importance of integrative physiology and the complex mechanical, molecular, endocrine, and neural interactions between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
In recent years, integrative physiology is gaining increased attention; novel findings in the area of molecular and systemic cardiopulmonary interaction overgrow the classical opinion that the adoption and transport of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide are their only functions. Mechanical, molecular, endocrine, and neural subsystems of the autonomic nervous system are integrative scales of these two mutually dependent organs, providing a wider range of adaptation of the organism to the growing requirements of the environment, fitness, and pathological changes.
