Renal denervation modulates angiotensin receptor expression in the renal cortex of rabbits with chronic heart failure

Excessive sympathetic drive is a hallmark of chronic heart failure (HF). Disease progression can be correlated with plasma norepinephrine concentration. Renal function is also correlated with disease progression and prognosis. Because both the renal nerves and renin-angiotensin II system are activat...
