Central role of carotid body chemoreceptors in disordered breathing and cardiorenal dysfunction in chronic heart failure
Oscillatory breathing patterns are observed in pre-term infants, patients with cardio-renal impairment, and in otherwise healthy humans exposed to high altitude. Enhanced carotid body chemoreflex sensitivity is common to all of these populations and is thought to contribute to these abnormal patter...
