Abstract
After studying the effects of various drugs on 84 men and women, 62 of whom had chronic congestive heart failure, it is concluded that expanding blood volume does not create conditions identical with human heart failure. High venous pressure in heart failure is due to a mechanical factor (high blood volume, back pressure, etc) and a functional factor (venous constriction of neurogenic origin).Keywords
