Abstract:
Derangements of the peripheral circulation play a major role in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure. Their appearance coincides with that of the symptoms and signs that characterize the full-blown clinical syndrome. Long-term therapy with ACE inhibitors partially reverses these abnormalities, but the pathologic mechanisms are still poorly understood.
