Exaggerated exercise-induced NE in NYHA II-III HF supports severity-linked sympathetic overactivation; hypothesis-generating for targeted modulation trials.
Does treadmill exercise alter plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations differently in CHF patients compared to normal subjects?
Sympathetic nervous system activation during exercise is exaggerated in proportion to heart failure severity, despite blunted circulatory responses in severe CHF.
Kinugawa et al. (1991) studied this question.
