Arterial blood pressure and cardiac output are often reduced in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Counterregulatory mechanisms with increased neurohormonal activation and changes in the distribution of cardiac output are assumed to secure vital organ perfusion. However, clinical examination of patients with CHF frequently reveals neurological symptoms with dizziness and memory problems, suggesting altered brain perfusion. In this study we determined whether cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III and IV (n=12) compared with healthy control subjects (n=12). Furthermore, we examined whether heart transplantation (n=5) could restore CBF.
