Core Tip	At the borders of the neurohormonal model of heart failure (HF), a partially unexplored path trough the maze of HF pathophysiology is represented by the feedback systems. There are several evidences, from both animal studies and humans reports, that the deregulation of baro-, ergo- and chemo-reflexes in HF patients elicits autonomic imbalance associated with parasympathetic withdrawal and increased adrenergic drive to the heart, thus fundamentally contributing to the evolution of the disease. Hence, on top of guideline-recommended medical therapy mainly based on neurohormonal antagonisms, all visceral feedbacks have been recently considered in HF patients as additional potential therapeutic targets.
