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 کاملVasodilator therapy for decompensated heart failure.
odium nitroprusside is appropriate for the acute treatment f congestive heart failure. The starting dose is 0.3 to 0.5 g/kg/min titrated to goal attainment of desired hemodyamics but usually not beyond 5 g/kg/min. Doses of 10 g/kg/min or sustained administration will result in excesive cyanide production, which may occasionally lead to yanide poisoning and may rarely lead to the development f m...
متن کاملRight ventricular failure
Whilst failure of the left ventricle (LV) has been the subject of intense interest for decades, failure of the right ventricle (RV) has tended to receive scant attention. Indeed, the RV was long considered a relatively passive conduit for blood flow between the systemic and pulmonary circulations. More recently, the importance of the RV in maintaining haemodynamic stability and organ function h...

Correspondence to: Giedrė Bakšytė, Department of Cardiology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Eivenių 2, 50009 Kaunas, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected] Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a serious clinical challenge not only in cardiology intensive care but in adult critical care in general. It is related not only to left ventricular failure but also ...
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...
