Is sympathetic nervous response relative to the adenosine triphosphate supply-demand imbalance during exercise augmented in patients with heart failure?
These data suggest that plasma levels of HX after maximal exercise are smaller as HF worsened, and sympathetic responsiveness to the imbalance of ATP supply-demand during exercise is augmented according to the severity of HF.
The single x-ray image based 2D/3D reconstruction technique is a feasible method to assess cup position on postoperative x-rays. CT scans remain the golden standard for a more complex biomechanical evaluation when a lower tolerance limit (+/-2 degrees) is required.
