Popis: Objectives. This study examined the relation between neurohumoral activation and severity of left ventricular dysfunction and congestive heart failure in a broad group of patients with depressed left ventricular function who were not recruited on the basis of eligibility for a therapeutic trial. Background. Previous studies have established the presence of neurohumoral activation in patients with severe congestive heart failure. It is not known whether the activation of these neurohumoral mechanisms is related to an impairment in left ventricular function.
