Sympathetic overactivity, which predicts poor outcome in patients with heart failure, normalizes following cardiac transplantation. We tested the hypothesis that haemodynamic improvement following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is also associated with reductions in centrally generated sympathetic activity.

终末期心力衰竭患者左心室辅助装置植入前后交感神经血管收缩活动

预示心力衰竭患者预后不良的交感神经过度活跃在心脏移植后恢复正常。我们检验了以下假设：左心室辅助装置 (LVAD) 植入后血流动力学的改善也与中枢产生的交感神经活动的减少有关。
