Oscillatory breathing and increased sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) are associated with increased arrhythmia incidence and contribute to mortality in chronic heart failure (CHF). Increased carotid body chemoreflex (CBC) sensitivity plays a role in this process and can be precipitated by chronic blood flow reduction. We hypothesized that downregulation of a shear stress-sensitive transcription factor, Kruppel-like Factor 2 (KLF2), mediates increased CBC sensitivity in CHF and contributes to associated autonomic, respiratory and cardiac sequelae. Ventilation (Ve), renal SNA (RSNA) and ECG were measured at rest and during CBC activation in sham and CHF rabbits. Oscillatory breathing was quantified as the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) and respiratory rate variability index (RRVI). AHI (control 61/h, CHF 251/h), RRVI (control 93/h, CHF 293/h), RSNA (control 222% max, CHF 435% max) and arrhythmia incidence (control 50 +/- 10/h, CHF 300 +/- 100/h) were increased in CHF at rest (FIO2 21%), as were CBC responses (Ve, RSNA) to 10% F-IO2 (all P
