Why the study?
Does increased sympathetic nervous system activity via beta-adrenergic receptors stimulate pathologic myocardial remodeling in heart failure?
Does increased sympathetic nervous system activity via beta-adrenergic receptors stimulate pathologic myocardial remodeling in heart failure?
Increased sympathetic nervous system activity promotes pathologic myocardial remodeling, providing a mechanistic basis for the survival benefits of beta-adrenergic antagonists in heart failure.
