Congestive heart failure: involvement of perivascular peptides reflecting activity in sympathetic, parasympathetic and afferent fibres.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Augmentation index (AIx) is a measure of arterial wave reflection, providing information on the workload of the heart. and is a possible marker for cardiovascular disease risk. The relation of alcohol consumption with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is U-shaped with a protective effect of moderate alcohol ...
