Why the study?
Do skeletal muscle metaboreceptors and mechanoreceptors in the leg contribute to increased ventilatory drive in patients with chronic heart failure?
Do skeletal muscle metaboreceptors and mechanoreceptors in the leg contribute to increased ventilatory drive in patients with chronic heart failure?
Exertional intolerance and increased ventilatory drive in chronic heart failure are mainly driven by metabolic stimulation of muscle metaboreceptors rather than mechanoreceptors.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Metaboreceptors may contribute to exertional ventilatory drive in HF; leaves open whether targeting them improves symptoms or capacity.
Scott et al. (2000) studied this question.
