Popis: During heart failure (HF), excess sodium retention is triggered by increased plasma renin-angiotensin-aldosterone activity and increased basal sympathetic nerve discharge (SND). Enhanced basal SND in the renal nerves plays a role in sodium retention. Therefore, as a hypothetical model for the central sympathetic control pathways that are dysregulated as a consequence of HF, the central neural pathways regulating the sympathetic motor output to the kidney are reviewed in the context of their role during HF.From these findings, a model of the neuroanatomical circuitry that may be affected during HF is constructed.
