| Abstract: | The article focuses on the heart-brain axis, a bidirectional communication network between the heart and brain that significantly influences physical and mental health. Recent research highlights how this connection affects conditions such as hypertension, depression, anxiety, and neurodegenerative diseases, and explores innovative diagnostic and treatment approaches, including the use of music, wearable technology, and medications like beta blockers and GLP-1 agonists. Studies also show that improving interoception—the brain’s ability to interpret bodily signals—can enhance emotional regulation and decision-making. These insights suggest a need for integrated medical approaches that consider the heart and brain as a unified system to better prevent and treat related disorders. [Extracted from the article] |
