Fluid Volume Overload and Congestion in Heart Failure: Time to Reconsider Pathophysiology and How Volume Is Assessed.
Volume regulation, assessment, and management remain basic issues in patients with heart failure. The discussion presented here is directed at opening a reassessment of the pathophysiology of congestion in congestive heart failure and the methods by which we determine volume overload status. Peer-reviewed historical and contemporary literatures are reviewed. Volume overload and fluid congestion...
متن کاملThe effect of digoxin in the splanchnic circulation in ventricular failure.
THERE IS increasing reason to believe that congestive heart failure must be considered not only in terms of certain specific cardiac abnormalities but also in terms of a complex and variable sequence of peripheral vascular interactions. These responses may be intensified or modified by the length of time during which failure persists, by con-comitant stress imposed by trauma, undue exertion, or...
متن کاملPrecipitating factors of congestive heart failure in admitted patients of Fatemieh Hospital in Semnan, Iran
Introduction: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a pathophysiologic state in which an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for the failure of the heart to pump blood at a commensurate rate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues and/or allows it to do so only from an abnormally elevated diastolic volume. In this study, the prevalence of precipitating factors of CHF in Semna...

The effects of intravenous infusion of diltiazem on regional blood flow (radioactive microspheres), hemodynamics, and maximum rate of oxygen consumption were evaluated in conscious rats with congestive heart failure caused by large myocardial infarction (n = 10, infarct size 41.8% of left ventricle) and compared with data obtained from rats subjected to sham surgical procedures (n = 9). In both...
