Contribution of Peripheral Chemoreceptors to Exercise Intolerance in Heart Failure
Peripheral chemoreceptors (PChRs), because of their strategic localization at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and along the aortic arch, play an important protective role against hypoxia. Stimulation of PChRs evokes hyperventilation and hypertension to maintain adequate oxygenation of c...
