DOI: 10.1007/s00259-017-3847-5
Abstract: The myocardial sympathetic innervation plays a pivotal role in the progression of heart failure and in the occurrence of lifethreatening arrhythmias. An impaired function of presynaptic sympathetic nerve terminals is considered to reflect impaired reuptake… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12350-021-02813-5
Abstract: Background I-123 meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging has long been employed to noninvasively assess the integrity of human norepinephrine transporter-1 and, hence, myocardial sympathetic innervation. Positron-emitting F-18 meta-fluorobenzylguanidine (MFBG) has recently been developed for potentially superior quantitative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12350-021-02869-3
Abstract: Background Regional myocardial sympathetic denervation is a conspicuous and early disorder in patients with chronic Chagas’ cardiomyopathy (CCC), potentially associated to the progression of myocardial dysfunction Objective To evaluate in a longitudinal study the association… read more here.
