Abstract
The study of the activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is gaining increasing importance in several areas of cardiac pathology. In cardiomyopathy patients (of ischemic origin or not), myocardial assessment of early and late 123I-mIBG distribution, is widely recognized as a very powerful survival predictor. Furthermore, in general, we can affirm that chronic heart failure (CHF) patients have overactivation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone and SNS, which creates a vicious circle of remodeling and an accompanying worse prognosis.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
