Background In chronic heart failure (CHF), arterial baroreflex regulation of cardiac function is
impaired, leading to a reduction in the tonic restraining influence on the sympathetic nervous …

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether endurance exercise
training could buffer neuroendocrine activity in chronic heart failure patients …

Elevated heart rate has been associated with worse prognosis both in the general
population and in patients with heart failure. Heart rate is finely modulated by …

The reflex regulation of sympathetic nerve activity has been demonstrated to be impaired in
the chronic heart failure (CHF) state compared with the normal condition (Liu JL, Murakami …

Heart failure (HF) is a major and growing public health problem. This condition is associated
with poor prognosis, a high rate of mortality, frequent hospitalization and increasing costs to …

Pliny's pharmacopoeia is considered to be the cradle of pharmacotherapy. Its compilation,
accessibility and distribution on a larger scale then ever before took care of the spread of …

Increased sympathetic activity and plasma levels of norepinephrine (NE), parasympathetic
withdrawal and impaired baroreflex gain have been reported in chronic heart failure (CHF) …

Vasoconstrictors, such as angiotensin II (Ang II), are involved in the regulatory mechanisms
of post myocardial infarction (MI) hypertrophy. Arginine vasopressin (AVP), may be another …

Background In patients with heart failure, impairment of baroreflex function occurs early and
contributes to sympathetic activation, however, at present its prognostic role has not been …

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is a major regulatory component of the
cardiovascular (CV) system affecting short-and long-term blood pressure regulation in the …
