Vasodilator therapy for chronic left ventricular failure.
The effects of chronic oral vasodilator therapy were studied in a group of patients with refractory congestive heart failure. Fifteen patients were treated acutely with intravenous sodium nitroprusside and sublingual isosorbide dinitrate. After continuous therapy with nitroprusside and isosorbide dinitrate for up to 72 hours the patients were then placed on isosorbide dinitrate and oral phenoxy...
متن کاملPhentolamine for vasodilator therapy in left ventricular failure complicating acute myocardial infarction. Haemodynamic study.
In 15 patients with acute myocardial infarction associated with signs of left ventricular dysfunction, phentolamine was infused intravenously in a dose of 10 mg per hour. This therapy induced a substantial reduction in mean right atrial pressure from 10 to 7 mmHg (1.3 to 0.9 kPa) (P) less than 0.001), and in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure from 20 to 13 mmHg (2.7 to 1.7 kPa) (P less than 0.0...
متن کاملVasodilator therapy for heart failure. The influence of impedance on left ventricular performance.
T HE ROLE OF THE arterial system in determining the performance of the diseased left ventricle has been relatively neglected in traditional thinking about heart failure. Attention has instead been focused on the influence of diastolic filling of the ventricle and of its contractile state. Therapy directed at altering these latter factors in cardiac performance has served as the cornerstone of t...

متن کاملChronic Left Ventricular Heart Failure
The effect of the vasodilator prazosin vs placebo on exercise duration until marked dyspnea, and on left ventricular function measured by echocardiography, was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized study in 24 patients with chronic left ventricular failure despite digitalis and diuretic therapy. Compared with the double-blind placebo, prazosin reduced resting systolic and diastolic blood pres...
