Characteristics of left atrial receptors were studied in normotensive control (Wistar) and
spontaneously hypertensive rats. The left atrial pressure was chronically elevated in …

Studies in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) demonstrate blunting of
sympathoexcitatory responses to baroreflex perturbation. Whereas experimental and limited …

Blockade of the angiotensin II (ANG II) type 1 receptor (AT1) has been shown to restore
baroreflex sensitivity in rats and rabbits with experimental chronic heart failure (CHF) …

Although the role of the autonomic nervous system in the pathophysiology of heart failure
has been studied for decades, only within the past few years have adrenergic receptors and …

1. The stability of the renal sympathetic baroreflex and nasopharyngeal reflex, and the role
of cardiac sensory receptors, was studied in conscious rabbits over a 5 h experimental …

The functional integrity of the beta-and alpha-adrenergic stimulatory pathways in a rapid
ventricular pacing model of congestive heart failure in dogs was investigated; normal dogs …

The hallmarks of the chronic heart failure state are alterations in autonomic reflexes,
neurohumoral drive and fluid balance. The available evidence suggests that several factors …

Although the role of the autonomic nervous system in the reflex regulation of the circulation
has long been known, until recently little attention has been focused on the increased …

Vasoconstrictory and vasodilatory hormone systems may be important in the regulation of
peripheral vascular resistance and renal hemodynamics in the carly phase of heart failure …

To determine the effect of irbesartan treatment on resting levels and arterial baroreflex
control of cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA) in heart failure (HF), we studied …
