Severe congestive heart failure is associated with autonomic imbalance consisting of an increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic activity. In the present study, we investigated the influence of alterations in autonomic balance on cardiovascular function in 11 swine with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction produced by a 2- to 3-week-old myocardial infarction (MI).
