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 کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a new therapeutic approach for a selected group of patients with symptomatic heart failure (NYHA functional class III-IV) despite optimal medical therapy, due to dilated cardiomyopathy of any etiology (left ventricular ejection fraction < or = 35% and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter > or = 55 mm), who present with electromechanical dyssynchrony...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy in chronic heart failure.
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) has emerged as a treatment option for patients with severe, drug-refractory heart failure and signs of intraventricular dyssynchrony. In clinical trials CRT reduced the overall mortality, improved symptoms, exercise tolerance, and left ventricular function, as compared with optimised medical therapy alone. One of the challenging fields in patient selectio...
متن کاملCerebral vasodilator therapy in stroke.
Cerebral Vasodilator Therapy in Stroke • Cerebral vasodilating agents have been questioned as an effective form of therapy for the stroke patient and even have been considered by some to be harmful. Animal studies show that often vasodilating agents will cause an intracerebral steal, but such a reaction has rarely been demonstrated in stroke patients. Several studies measuring cerebral blood fl...
