Abstract

Our data suggested that CI in patients without structural heart disease was mainly caused by a pathophysiological condition in which sympathetic activation was not well translated into heart rate increase. Further study is needed to determine the post-synaptic sensitivity of the beta-adrenergic receptor pathway in relation to CI.
