The recent development of endothelin receptor antagonists for possible therapeutic use in heart failure has hastened the need for a clearer...

...Russell T. HEPPLE; Peter. P. LIU; Michael J. PLYLEY; Jack M. GOODMAN Exercise performance in chronic heart failure is severely impaired, due in part to a peripherally mediated limitation. In addition to impaired maximal exercise capacity, the O 2 uptake ( O 2 ) response during submaximal exercise...

We set out to compare the short-term reproducibility and success rate of four different methods of assessing BRS in normal subjects and patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). A total of 31 patients with CHF and 18 normal controls underwent BRS testing using four techniques: (1) bolus...
