Atrial natriuretic peptide augments the variability of sympathetic nerve activity in human heart failure

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system, decreased heart rate variability (HRV), and loss of modulation of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) within the low frequency (LF, 0.05-0.15 Hz) range are three adverse features of advanced congestive heart failure (CHF). In healthy men, atrial nat...
