Impaired Cardiac Sympathetic Innervation Increases the Risk of Cardiac Events in Heart Failure Patients with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Mechanical Dyssynchrony
Background. Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD), left ventricular hypertrophy, and impaired cardiac sympathetic innervation are closely related to the development of heart failure (HF) and unfavorable outcomes. Methods and Results. A total of 705 consecutive HF patients with reduced left...
