Blood flow dynamics in heart failure.
BACKGROUND Exercise intolerance in heart failure (HF) may be due to inadequate vasodilation, augmented vasoconstriction, and/or altered muscle metabolic responses that lead to fatigue. METHODS AND RESULTS Vascular and metabolic responses to rhythmic forearm exercise were tested in 9 HF patients and 9 control subjects (CTL) during 2 protocols designed to examine the effect of HF on the time co...
متن کاملIntrarenal blood flow in congestive heart failure.
Intrarenal blood flow distribution was measured by the '33xenon washout technic in 10 patients with heart disease who were studied at time of left and right heart catheterization. Renal washout curves were analyzed by computer using a weighted least-squares nonlinear regression technic. In three patients with heart disease without edema the compartment I blood flow rates (outer cortex) were not...
متن کاملCerebral blood flow and neurological change in chronic heart failure.
In their article in this issue of Stroke, Gruhn et al report that cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced about 30% in patients with NYHA III/IV heart failure but has normalized when retested in 5 subjects 30 days after successful heart transplantation. The authors suggest that (1) the reduced CBF found before transplantation is responsible for neurological signs and symptoms reported in patients ...
متن کاملRenal blood flow in heart failure patients during exercise.
During exercise, reflex renal vasoconstriction maintains blood pressure and helps in redistributing blood flow to the contracting muscle. Exercise intolerance in heart failure (HF) is thought to involve diminished perfusion in active muscle. We studied the temporal relationship between static handgrip (HG) and renal blood flow velocity (RBV; duplex ultrasound) in 10 HF and in 9 matched controls...
متن کاملCerebral blood flow in patients with chronic heart failure before and after heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Arterial blood pressure and cardiac output are often reduced in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Counterregulatory mechanisms with increased neurohormonal activation and changes in the distribution of cardiac output are assumed to secure vital organ perfusion. However, clinical examination of patients with CHF frequently reveals neurological symptoms with dizzin...
