2 Fig. 1 Sympathetic neurograms. Note that muscle sympathetic nerve activity is markedly elevated in heart failure patients, but not in Chagasic without heart failure patient. International Journal of Cardiology  , DOI: ( /j.ijcard ) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Individual levels of muscle sympathetic nerve activity burst frequency (A) and bursts per 100 heart beats (B) in normal controls (NC), Chagas' disease patients and heart failure (HF) patients. * = vs. normal controls and Chagas' disease patients (P<0.05).

4 Fig. 3 Muscle sympathetic nerve activity burst frequency (A) and bursts per 100 heart beats (B) during exercise in normal controls (NC), Chagas' disease patients and heart failure (HF) patients. * = vs. Chagas' disease patients without HF and NC (P<0.05). + = All groups vs. basal (P<0.05).
