Respiratory Muscle Dysfunction in Congestive Heart Failure

Background—In congestive heart failure (CHF), the prognostic significance of impaired respiratory muscle strength has not been established. Methods and Results—Maximal inspiratory pressure (Pimax) was prospectively determined in 244 consecutive patients (207 men) with CHF (ischemic, n575; idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, n5169; age, 54611 years; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 2261...

Endothelial dysfunction and damage in congestive heart failure: relation of flow-mediated dilation to circulating endothelial cells, plasma indexes of endothelial damage, and brain natriuretic peptide.

BACKGROUND Congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with endothelial perturbation (as defined by flow-mediated endothelial-dependent vasodilation [FMD, an index of endothelial dysfunction], circulating endothelial cells [CECs, an index of endothelial damage], or plasma indexes of endothelial damage/dysfunction [eg, von Willebrand factor (vWf) and soluble thrombomodulin (sTM)]) and raised pl...

Endothelial dysfunction in heart failure.

Endothelial dysfunction crucially contributes to the development of impaired coronary and systemic perfusion as well as reduced exercise capacity in patients with congestive heart failure, with fundamental impact on morbidity and mortality. Reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) and abundant formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the vascular wall are the key determinants in en...

Respiratory dysfunction in congestive heart failure: correction after heart transplantation.

Severe chronic congestive heart failure (CCHF) is known to induce a restrictive ventilatory defect, with a small decrease in lung transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TLCO). The aim of the present work was to assess the reversibility of this dysfunction. We studied a group of 47 patients with CCHF, before and one year after heart transplantation. The measurements included static and dynamic lun...

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS

During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...
