Key result
Whole body heating resulted in significantly reduced renal sympathoexcitatory responses in heart failure rats compared with sham controls.
Why the study?
Does heart failure alter renal sympathetic nerve discharge responses to acute hyperthermia stress in rats?
Does heart failure alter renal sympathetic nerve discharge responses to acute hyperthermia stress in rats?
Heart failure attenuates the responsiveness of renal sympathetic nerve discharge to acute heat stress in rats, suggesting altered neural pathway organization.

HF attenuates renal sympathetic heat responses in rats; hypothesis-generating for autonomic changes in patients, requiring human validation.
Kenney et al. (2001) studied Heart failure (in rats). Whole body heating (hyperthermia) vs. Sham controls was evaluated on Renal sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) responses to hyperthermia. Whole body heating resulted in significantly reduced renal sympathoexcitatory responses in heart failure rats compared with sham controls.
