Carotid body mediates sympathoexcitation and oscillatory breathing patterns in heart failure. Representative recordings of tidal ventilation (Vt), renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and integrated RSNA (iSNA) in one control (sham–sham) animal, one chronic heart failure animal with intact carotid bodies (CHF–sham) and one chronic heart failure animal that underwent carotid body denervation (CHF–CBD). Note that CBD normalize RSNA and ventilatory oscillations. Reprinted from Marcus et al. [27] with permission of John Wiley and Sons
