The Vanderbilt Autonomic Dysfunction Center was established in 1978 as the first international center for patient care, research, and training focusing exclusively on disorders of the autonomic nervous system.
Its creation brought together in one site a cadre of physicians, scientists and nurses who could foster a balanced scientific approach to elucidation of the etiology and optimal therapy of these disorders. Over the years, many people have contributed to this effort at Vanderbilt. Many of the young scientists and physicians who have trained here have gone out and established similar centers in other parts of the world.

Link between sodium, calcium and heartbeat illuminated. That flutter in your heart may have more to do with the movement of sodium ions than the glance of a certain someone across a crowded room.
Using the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, researchers from the University of British Columbia have revealed, for the first time, one of the molecular mechanisms that regulates the beating of heart cells by controlling the movement of sodium in out of the cells -- and what calcium has to do with it. The findings, published February 14, 2012 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , sheds new light on this crucial physiological process while revealing the root cause and possible treatment targets of two potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia conditions. The contraction and relaxation of heart muscle cells depend on minute but finely regulated electrical impulses that are created when charged atoms -- or ions -- of metals such as sodium, potassium and calcium pass through complex molecular channels inside and between cells.
