Systemic inflammation is elevated in patients with HF. We hypothesized that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves cardiac sympathetic nervous dysfunction and systemic inflammation. To test our hypothesis, we evaluated cardiac sympathetic activity and serum levels of high sensitive C\u2010reactive protein (hs\u2010CRP) before and after CRT.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>\n            <jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n          <\/jats:bold>\u2002<jats:italic>Twenty\u2010seven patients with chronic HF (19 men, eight women; mean age 67 \u00b1 10 years) with nonischemic cardiomyopathy who underwent CRT were evaluated. Each patient was evaluated before and 6 months after CRT. Responders were defined as patients showing \u226515% absolute decrease in left ventricular end\u2010systolic volume.

In responders, the mean heart\u2010to\u2010mediastinum (H\/M) ratio at the delayed phase in cardiac <jats:sup>123<\/jats:sup>I\u2010MIBG scintigraphic findings was significantly increased (P\u2003&lt;\u20030.05) and serum levels of hs\u2010CRP were decreased (P &lt;0.01). Such improvements were not observed in nonresponders. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the reduction in hs\u2010CRP level was independently associated with the increase in the H\/M ratio at delayed phase.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n          <\/jats:bold>\u2002<jats:italic>Our results demonstrated that cardiac sympathetic nervous dysfunction and systemic inflammation were improved in responder HF patients to CRT.
