A hallmark of heart failure (HF), whether it presents itself during rest or periods of physical
exertion, is the excessive elevation of intracardiac filling pressures at rest or with exercise …

Elevated left-side filling pressures at rest and particularly during exertion are well described
prognostic indicators and targets for cardiovascular therapies with the intention to improve …

Background In chronic heart failure (HF), increased sympathetic-mediated splanchnic
vasoconstriction causes inappropriate redistribution of blood into the central circulation …

Preload augmentation represents a critical mechanism for the cardiovascular system to
increase effective circulating blood volume to increase cardiac filling pressures and …

Aims In heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), excessive redistribution
of blood volume into the central circulation leads to elevations of intracardiac pressures with …

Objective Splanchnic vasoconstriction augments transfer of blood volume from the abdomen
into the thorax, which may increase filling pressures and hemodynamic congestion in …

The role of splanchnic congestion and the intestinal microen... : Current Opinion in
Supportive and Palliative Care The role of splanchnic congestion and the intestinal …

Although its pathogenesis is multifaceted, heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction
(HFpEF) is defined as a syndrome of elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressures at rest or …

Aims Inappropriate control of blood volume redistribution may be a mechanism responsible
for exercise intolerance in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We …

Objectives The authors estimated changes of stressed blood volume (SBV) induced by
splanchnic nerve block (SNB) in patients with either decompensated or ambulatory heart …
