Insights into association between autonomic nerve system and immune regulation in patients with chronic heart failure

慢性心力衰竭是一个不断演变的范例，它限制了患者的生活质量和长期生存。在这项研究中，我们探讨了自主神经系统和免疫系统调节炎症反应之间的关系。肺和心脏摄取~(123)I间苯并基胍的比率对预测特发性扩张型心肌病患者的未来临床结果的重要性已被证明。此外，我们确定了调节性T细胞数量的减少与动脉粥样硬化性疾病的重要性之间的关系。

Chronic heart failure is an evolving paradigm, which limits patient's quality of life and long-term survival. In this study, we explored the association between autonomic nerve system and immune system regulating inflammatory response. The importance of iodine-123 Metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake ratio between lung and heart has been demonstrated to predict future clinical outcome in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. In addition, we identified an association between the decrease in regulatory T cell population and significance of atherosclerotic disease.
