Cardiovascular autonomic imbalance, a cardinal phenotype of human heart failure, has
adverse implications for symptoms during wakefulness and sleep; for cardiac, renal, and …

Purpose Cardiac autonomic dysfunction is one of the main pillars of cardiovascular
pathophysiology. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of …

Although enhanced sympathetic tone is a well recognized component of the autonomic
profile characteristic of congestive heart failure, the contribution of parasympathetic …

Conclusive evidence demonstrates that the sympathetic nervous system activation is a
hallmark of congestive heart failure. This has been shown via a variety of biochemical …

Heart failure is accompanied by sympathetic overactivity, which contributes to the
pathophysiology and to poor prognosis. This paper reviews the mechanisms and potential …

Activation of the immune system and derangement of cardiorespiratory neural control are
established elements of the complex pathophysiology of chronic heart failure (CHF). The …

Aim: Although abnormalities in reflex sympathetic neural function represent a hallmark of
heart failure, no information is available on the neuroadrenergic and baroreflex function in …

Heart failure is a syndrome characterized initially by left ventricular dysfunction that triggers
countermeasures aimed to restore cardiac output. These responses are compensatory at …

Disturbances in cardiovascular neural regulation, influencing both disease course and
survival, progress as heart failure worsens. Heart failure due to left ventricular systolic …

Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome characterized by upregulation of the sympathetic nervous
system and abnormal responsiveness of the parasympathetic nervous system. 1 Evidence …
