Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Heart failure is characterized by a chronic inflammatory status, with high circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines significantly correlated with deterioration of functional capacity, cardiac performance, and coronary flow reserve--the latter occurring even with normal systemic endothelial function. Impaired coronary flow reserve in heart failure is poorly related to systemic inflammation levels and somewhat matched by a reduction in myocardial contractile reserve. Both coronary flow and myocardial functional reserve can be imaged noninvasively and can be useful clinically for disease severity titration, diagnostic anticipation, and prognostic stratification. Coronary microcirculatory dysfunction can be a trigger of disease and a potential target for therapeutic intervention in heart failure patients. Clinical observational studies showed a striking beneficial effect of endogenous adenosine accumulation on symptoms, exercise capacity, and left ventricular function in chronic heart failure, but this needs to be confirmed in prospective randomized large-scale trials. |
