摘要
Chronic heart failure is a progressive syndrome that starts with impaired left ventricular function and progresses to end-stage heart failure, with associated high mortality and morbidity. Initial events produce direct effects on myocardial gene expression and neuroendocrine signal transduction. Neuroendocrine activation, which includes stimulation of the renin-angiotensin and sympathetic nervous systems, as well as the release of cytokines, has important structural and functional effects on the heart. Identification of the mechanisms that underlie chronic heart failure has enabled the development of therapeutic strategies for early intervention in left ventricular dysfunction, with the aim of inhibiting progression to advanced heart failure.
