Calcium antagonists and chronic cardiac failure.

Calcium antagonists and chronic cardiac failure.

The treatment of cardiac failure involves a series of steps, which are taken in an order determined by clinical necessity. In some instances there is a treatable cause which may be amenable to appropriate medical or surgical management. In many there are correctable factors exacerbating the situation, for example high blood pressure, anaemia, arrhythmias, high salt intake or drugs such as beta-...

The Antiiflammtory Activity of calcium-channel antagonists on chronic inflammation in rat

calcium mobilization is known to be an important factor in the activation of cells involved in inflammation,so,calcium-channel antagonists are be expected ti exhibit antiinflammatory activity.in the present study,we evaluateted the antiinflammatory effects of two calcium channel blockers,verapamil and nifedipine on adjuvant induced chronic in flammation in rat paw.sixty adult male rats were div...

cardiac arrythmias in acute and chronic renal failure

cardiac arrythmias are frequent complications in acute and chronic renal failure and they may well account for sudden unexplained death in these patients. based upon our recent study, we strongly believe that among other causative factors, focal degeneration of myocardium is the commonest and the most potentially dangerous cause of cardiac arrythmias. we suggest in emergency instances, ouabain ...

Beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists and chronic heart failure in children

Chronic congestive heart failure (HF) occurs in infants and children as a result of systemic ventricle incompetence. Neurohormonal activation is thought to be the main consequence of cardiac pump failure and cause of further worsening. Several large multicenter randomized trials have demonstrated that beta-adrenergic blocking agents can improve ventricular ejection fraction, symptoms, and survi...
