Despite advancements in treatments for heart failure and lethal arrhythmias, achieving satisfactory life prognoses remains a challenge. A fresh perspective on the pathogenesis of heart disease is imperative to improve these prognoses. Our research has highlighted the role of cardiac macrophages in inhibiting the onset of heart failure and sudden cardiac death. We have recently unveiled a collaborative mechanism involving immune cells, brain neural networks, and the kidneys, which work in concert to combat cardiovascular diseases. This intricate organ network, orchestrated by the brain neural network and immune system, is pivotal in maintaining whole-body homeostasis. Disruptions in this harmonious interplay can precipitate various conditions, including heart failure and multiple organ failure, underscoring the significance of technological advancements in analytical methods and the advent of artificial intelligence. Recent strides in circulatory organ research have facilitated concurrent high-level analysis of the neural network and cardiovascular system. This review encapsulates these cutting-edge reports, evaluates the progress of research anchored in the fundamental concept that system failure of the cardiovascular organ precipitates cardiovascular disease, and offers valuable insights to guide future research.

Regulation of the Cardiovascular System
The regulation of the cardiovascular system involves the autonomic nervous system (ANS), baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors, ensuring that heart rate and blood pressure are appropriately modulated in response to varying physiological demands.
The ANS comprises two main divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system enhances...
