The plasma catecholamine determination was undertaken in normal subjects and patients with congestive heart failure. It was found that the concentration of plasma catecholamine was intimately related with its urinary excretory levels, and showed a marked increase in cardiac failure, however this increase had no connection with the underlying diseases but was related to the severity of heart failure. In physical exercise, the increase in plasma catecholamine in cardiac patients was greater than that in normal subjects. The effects of digitalis and sympatholytic agents on catecholamine levels were also observed as well as on clinical progress of cardiac patients. It has been proved that the increased sympathetic activity in cardiac failure would have an important role for improvement of pathological state.
