Heart Congress 2020: Neurogenic heart secondary to insula stroke and neurocysticercosis - ABC Health Center

Introduction: Some functions of the right insula lobe are a little bit known such as its role in taste perception for the ipsilateral tongue (rostro-caudal insula) and some functions of the left insula cortex for intensity of the stimulus ipsilateral to the tongue and taste recognition bilaterally, gustatory mechanism, movements of the mouth, and oropharyngeal swallowing (anterior insula) are not well known neither. The insula of the right cerebral hemisphere may play a major role in cardiac autonomic control and left insula stimulation and right vagus nerve stimulation cause same effect on the cardiac rhythm, however clearcut cardiac manifestations for each insular lesion are uncertain. In this presentation we deliver our hypotheses about this problem secondary to neurocysticercosis (NCC).
