The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a fundamental role in maintaining cell homeostasis and human life. The functionality of the heart and skeletal muscles is partially modulated by sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the ANS both in resting and exercising conditions. Substantial literature attests to the fact that objective indices of muscle strength reflect health status. It is well-established that heart failure is typically accompanied by skeletal muscle abnormalities that contributed to the exercise intolerance and poor health-related quality of […]
