Underutilization of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors among heart failure patients.
There are well-established guidelines regarding the use of Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) in the management of heart failure (HF). In-spite of that, many studies has documented underutilization of ACEI. Thus, this retrospective observational study aimed to evaluate the utilization of ACEI, to identify the pattern of ACEI use and the factors that might contribute to underutiliza...
متن کاملPharmacoeconomics of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in heart failure.
As a result of the increasing cost of health care and the limited resources available, it has become more difficult to allocate resources efficiently and effectively in the health care system. This environment has led to the development of pharmacoeconomic studies, which have been designed in response to the need for assessment of the economic benefits of a product prior to its acceptance in th...
متن کاملThe effect of progressive aerobic continuous training on angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 in patients with heart failure
Background: Chronic hypertension causes structural and functional changes in the heart, ultimately leading to heart failure (HF), which further increases mortality and morbidit. HF is a complex clinical syndrome caused by various structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair the filling capacity of the ventricles. The findings of various trials have shown the association betwe...
متن کاملAngiotensin converting enzyme inhibition in patients with congestive heart failure.
The etiology of afterload elevation in congestive cardiac failure is unclear, but experimental evidence suggests a role for the renin-angiotensin system in maintaining elevated peripheral vascular resistance. The angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor SQ20,881 was administered to eight patients with congestive cardiac failure (four hypertensives, four normotensives) during or one day after dia...
متن کاملUse of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and variations in cognitive performance among patients with heart failure.
AIMS Cognitive dysfunction is a prevalent condition among patients with heart failure, and is independently associated with disability and mortality. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors might increase cerebral blood flow in subjects with heart failure. Our aim was to assess whether starting treatment with ACE-inhibitors might improve cognition in patients with heart failure. METHOD...
