Abstract
Despite considerable therapeutic advances over recent years, chronic heart failure remains associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Further improvements in the treatment of this syndrome are therefore needed and this will require advances in the understanding of its underlying pathophysiology. This article reviews the literature regarding recently identified neurohormonal pathways that are declaring themselves as potential therapeutic targets in chronic heart failure.
