ACE inhibitors in heart failure: effect on mode of death.
The treatment of heart failure with ACE inhibitors, especially following acute myocardial infarction, is now well established. Several excellent studies have convincingly demonstrated increased survival and reduced morbidity necessitating fewer hospital admissions. In the Acute Infarction Ramipril Efficacy (AIRE) study 5 mg b.d. of the ACE inhibitor ramipril were given to patients with some cli...
متن کاملPrediction of mode of death in heart failure: the Seattle Heart Failure Model.
BACKGROUND Prognosis and mode of death in heart failure patients are highly variable in that some patients die suddenly (often from ventricular arrhythmia) and others die of progressive failure of cardiac function (pump failure). Prediction of mode of death may facilitate decisions about specific medications or devices. METHODS AND RESULTS We used the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM), a val...
متن کاملAdvanced Congestive Heart Failure
Background Sympathetic hyperactivity and parasympathetic withdrawal in patients with congestive heart failure correlate closely with disease severity and overall survival. The modulating effects of drugs on the autonomic dysfunction may contribute to improve survival. Low-dose scopolamine has a vagomimetic effect in normal subjects and patients after acute myocardial infarction. We assessed whe...
متن کاملChronobiology of death in heart failure.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES In the general population, heart events occur more often during early morning, on Mondays, and during winter. However, the chronobiology of death in heart failure has not been analyzed. The aim of this study was to determine the circadian, day of the week, and seasonal variability of all-cause mortality in chronic heart failure. METHODS This was an analysis of all ...
متن کاملEffect of cardiac sympathetic nervous activity on mode of death in congestive heart failure.
AIMS To investigate whether strong cardiac sympathetic activity contributes primarily to sudden death or to worsening heart failure, and to determine the relationship of the size of cardiac noradrenaline stores to the mode of death. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population comprised 116 patients with congestive heart failure (ejection fraction 19+/-7%) and a mean follow-up of 18+/-19 months. ...
