Beta-adrenergic blocking agents in heart failure.
Cardiac dysfunction in heart failure is widely recognized as a progressive process, regardless of the clinical signs and symptoms. An increase in cardiac sympathetic drive is one of the earliest neurohormonal responses occurring in patients with heart failure and may be one of the major causes of the progressive remodeling leading to the decline in myocardial function, and responsible for the p...

SIR,-Drs. Priscilla Kincaid-Smith and A. S. P. Hua are disturbed (24 August, p. 520) by our suggestion that beta-adrenergic blocking agents should not be used in patients with moderately severe renal failure (27 April, p. 193). They refer to a previous publication' to show that temporary deterioration in renal function in such patients may occur with the introduction of any hypotensive drug. Th...

These drugs fundamentally alter the clinical course of atients with heart failure and a reduced left ventricular jection fraction, improving left ventricular performance, eversing left ventricular remodeling, and reducing...
متن کاملβ-Adrenergic receptor signaling in cardiac function and heart failure
INTRODUCTION Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major public health problem. Nearly 5 million Americans are afflicted with CHF and about 550,000 new cases are diagnosed each year (1). CHF is a pathophysiological condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the metabolic needs of the body. It is the endpoint for several cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery di...
