Carotid chemoreceptor ablation improves survival in heart failure: rescuing autonomic control of cardiorespiratory function.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate whether selective ablation of the carotid body (CB) chemoreceptors improves cardiorespiratory control and survival during heart failure. BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a recognized health problem worldwide, and novel treatments are needed to better improve life quality and decrease mortality. Enhanced carotid chemoreflex drive from the CB...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronisation improves survival in mild heart failure!
Several studies have already established the superiority of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT)-defibrillator (D) over implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) alone in patients with severely symptomatic chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III/IV), left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, and a wide QRS complex. Synchronous pacing of opposing LV walls in ma...
متن کاملCarotid chemoreceptor modulation of regional blood flow distribution during exercise in health and chronic heart failure.
Previous work has shown sensitization of carotid chemoreceptor (CC) responsiveness during exercise as well as in chronic heart failure (CHF). Accordingly, we hypothesized that the CCs contribute to the sympathetic restraint of skeletal muscle blood flow during exercise and CHF. We examined the effect of transient CC inhibition on total (Con(T)) and hindlimb (Con(L)) conductance, and blood press...
متن کاملLow-intensity exercise training delays heart failure and improves survival in female hypertensive heart failure rats.
Exercise training improves functional capacity and quality of life in patients with heart failure. However, the long-term effects of exercise on mortality associated with hypertensive heart disease have not been well defined. In the present study, we investigated the effect of low-intensity exercise training on disease progression and survival in female spontaneously hypertensive heart failure ...
متن کاملReductions in carotid chemoreceptor activity with low‐dose dopamine improves baroreflex control of heart rate during hypoxia in humans
The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the contribution of the carotid body chemoreceptors to changes in baroreflex control of heart rate with exposure to hypoxia. We hypothesized spontaneous cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (scBRS) would be reduced with hypoxia and this effect would be blunted when carotid chemoreceptor activity was reduced with low-dose dopamine. Fifteen health...
