Sympathetic nervous system in heart failure.
For those who have comfortably accepted the mechanistic link between sympathetic nervous system activation and poor outcome in heart failure, the study by Brede et al1 in this issue of Circulation is a welcome confirmation. The authors appear to have demonstrated in a murine model that absence of sympathoinhibitory 2 adrenoreceptors is associated with overactive catecholamine release, aggressiv...
متن کاملThe sympathetic nervous system and heart failure.
Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome characterized by upregulation of the sympathetic nervous system and abnormal responsiveness of the parasympathetic nervous system. Studies in the 1980s and 1990s demonstrated that inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors improved symptoms and mortality in HF resulting from systolic dysfunction, thus pro...
متن کاملSympathetic nervous system activation in human heart failure: clinical implications of an updated model.
Disturbances in cardiovascular neural regulation, influencing both disease course and survival, progress as heart failure worsens. Heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction has long been considered a state of generalized sympathetic activation, itself a reflex response to alterations in cardiac and peripheral hemodynamics that is initially appropriate, but ultimately pathologic...
متن کاملSympathetic Nervous Activation and Failure
Background Although heart rate variability (HRV) at 0.1 Hz has been proposed as a noninvasive clinical measure of cardiac sympathetic nerve firing, this premise has not been sufficiently validated by comparison with techniques such as microneurography and the measurement of norepinephrine spillover from the heart that more directly reflect presynaptic sympathetic activity. Methods and Results W...
متن کاملParadoxical muscle sympathetic reflex activation in human heart failure.
BACKGROUND Muscle sympathetic activation in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has been attributed, on the basis of multiunit recordings, to attenuated inhibitory feedback from stretch-sensitive cardiopulmonary mechanoreceptors. However, such preparations integrate 2 populations of single units exhibiting directionally opposite firing when atrial pressure is perturbed. We test...
