Suggests chemoreflex hyperactivity drives sympathetic activation in experimental CHF; hypothesis-generating for human translation.
In a rabbit model of pacing-induced heart failure, enhanced peripheral chemoreflex function contributes to sympathetic activation.
Sun et al. (1999) studied this question.
