Coronary microvascular and endothelial function regulation: Crossroads of psychoneuroendocrine immunitary signals and quantum physics [Part B]

Abstract

Stress is the key element that unites all the influences that have a cellular impact in the coronary microcirculation, determining serious consequences for health. In particular, mental stress does not differ from the physical stress and is always part of the biological processes that are examined in the research and daily clinical practice. Many cardiovascular diseases occur after a long process of stress, compensation and exhaustion, after accumulating some allostatic load. The stress reaction is common both at a macroscopic level both at the cellular level. We move forward considering the biological cellular balance, especially cardiovascular one, in molecular and atomic terms, with reference to the newest achievements in the field of quantum physics. The above leads inevitably to raise three important issues that must be solved in order to progress effectively in scientific research.
