title: [Neuroendocrine adaptations in chronic congestive heart failure].
abstract: Chronic congestive heart failure is typically accompanied by an abnormal production of vasoconstrictor antinatriuretic hormones and vasodilator natriuretic hormones. Decompensation occurs when the former prevail over the latter. These neuroendocrine abnormalities are increasingly taken into account to determine the prognosis and to decide on the best therapeutic approach in individual patients with chronic heart failure.
