متن کاملCircadian rhythm and sudden death in heart failure: results from Prospective Randomized Amlodipine Survival Trial.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to address the timing of sudden death in advanced heart failure patients. BACKGROUND Sudden death is a catastrophic event in cardiovascular disease. It has a circadian pattern prominent in the early AM, which has been thought to be due to a surge of sympathetic stimulation. We postulated that the distribution of events in advanced heart failure, with ch...
متن کاملThe effect of amlodipine and sildenafil on the NT-proBNP level of patients with COPD-induced pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important cause of heart failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The pro brain natriuretic peptide N-terminal (NT-proBNP) has been suggested as a noninvasive marker to evaluate ventricular function. However, there is no evidence to support the use of NT-proBNP in monitoring the benefits of vasodilators in COPD induced PH. Thus, we used NT-proBN...
