Mechanistic insights into chloride‐related heart failure progression according to the plasma volume status by Hajime Kataoka

“…Conclusions According to the changes in the ePVS, HF progression may result from a difference between two HF types (i.e. increased vs. non‐increased serum chloride concentration) in the cardiac reserve in response to a given cardiac burden by modulating plasma volume status via the possible tonicity potential of chloride.…”
