RENAL DENERVATION IMPROVES POST-INFARCTION REMODELING AND HEMODYNAMICS THROUGH MODULATION OF CARDIOPROTECTIVE PLASMA PEPTIDES

Overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of heart failure. We investigated the effects of renal denervation (RDN) on left ventricular (LV) function and natriuretic peptide levels in a rodent model of ischemic heart failure. Spontaneously hypertensive
