It has been known for many decades that multiple abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are present in heart failure (HF). Moreover, many of the effective therapies currently used to treat HF have either direct or indirect effects on the ANS. While therapies that block over-activity of the sympathetic nervous system are now standard of care, much less well studied are therapies aimed at augmenting the parasympathetic nervous system. This review will cover recent and ongoing investigations targeting modulation of the ANS, especially highlighting new and ongoing studies directed toward augmenting parasympathetic mechanisms.
