Beneficial effects of torasemide on systolic wall stress and sympathetic nervous activity in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients with heart failure: comparison with azosemide.

abstract：:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and ATP are considered cotransmitters with norepinephrine (NE) in sympathetic neurons innervating some blood vessels, including those of the mesentery. A prominent action of NPY is to potentiate the postjunctional contractile effect of NE as well as that of other vasoactive agents. We wished to in...
