Prostaglandin increases associated with exaggerated ergoreflex in heart failure; hypothesis-generating for targeted therapies, needs prospective confirmation.
Prostaglandins correlate with ergoreflex activity in chronic heart failure, suggesting they may trigger the exaggerated ergoreflex and could serve as targets for novel therapies to improve exercise tolerance.
Scott et al. (2002) studied this question.
