About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Systolic Heart Failure focused on measuring carotid body, heart failure, chemoreceptor, hypersensitivity

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • History of heart failure class II-III according to NYHA within at least 6 months prior to inclusion
  • Stable clinical state within at least 4 weeks prior to inclusion
  • Subject >= 18 years old
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45% evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography (Simpson's method)
  • Carotid body present in computer cervical angiotomography
  • History of exacerbated peripheral chemoreceptor sensitivity determined as >0.6L/min/%SpO2
  • Able and willing to give written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unstable angina pectoris, coronary attack, coronary revascularization, exacerbation of heart-failure requiring hospitalization, clinically significant infection, surgery under general anesthesia within 3 months prior to inclusion
