Oxygen free radicals and congestive heart failure.
Plasma lipid peroxides (malondialdehyde) and thiols were measured in 45 patients with congestive heart failure and 45 controls. Malondialdehyde concentrations were significantly higher in the patients with congestive heart failure (median 9.0 nmol/ml interquartile range (IQR) 7.9-10.2) than in the controls (median 7.7 nmol/ml (IQR 6.9-9.2)). Plasma thiols were significantly lower in congestive ...

Although we used a composite end point that included death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident and myocardial revascularization, we also separately reported mortality, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization procedures and stroke (1).

متن کاملCongestive Heart Failure
The heart is composed of two independent pumping systems, one on the left side and one on the right. The right chamber, or right atrium, of the heart relaxes and expands to fill with blood that has returned from the body. (This relaxed action causes diastolic pressure, recorded as the second and lower number when measuring blood pressure). The used blood is poor in oxygen and rich in carbon dio...
متن کاملCongestive heart failure.
Patients with acute decompensated heart failure are usually critically ill and require immediate treatment. However, most are not volume overloaded. Emergency department (ED) management is based on rapid initiation of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation and aggressive titration of nitrates. Afterload reduction with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor can be considered. A diuretic s...
