Nitrates in Congestive Heart Failure

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 1994
Nitrates are commonly used in the therapy of congestive heart failure (CHF). They exert beneficial hemodynamic effects by decreasing left ventricular filling pressure and systemic vascular resistance while modestly improving cardiac output. The improvement in left ventricular function caused by nitrates is the result of combined reduction in outflow ...

Unloading the Heart in Congestive Heart Failure

The American Journal of Medicine, 1984
Depressed contractile performance of the heart in congestive heart failure is aggravated by increases in preload and afterload related in part to arterial and venous constriction. Vasodilator drugs have a salutary effect on left ventricular performance by reducing aortic impedance and/or increasing venous capacitance resulting in an increase in stroke ...

FLUIDS IN CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1946
Increased knowledge of water and electrolyte metabolism and a demonstration of the ill effects of clinical dehydration have revolutionized preoperative and postoperative therapy; 1 the treatment of kidney disease, 2 burns, 3 toxemias of pregnancy, 4 shock 5 and a variety of surgical and medical conditions.

The brain in congestive heart failure

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 1996
In the present paper we discuss two issues about relationships between congestive heart failure and the brain. First, major acute cerebrovascular events are very frequent among elderly people, but stroke does not appear to be frequently associated with congestive heart failure.

Glucagon in Congestive Heart Failure

Chest, 1971
Nineteen patients with congestive heart failure were given a continuous infusion of glucagon 3 to 5 mg/hour. Those with acute processes improved, while only 1 of 12 with chronic CHF benefited. Urine output increased 495 ml/24 hours, BUN rose 4.9 mg percent, serum glucose increased 22.1 mg percent, and serum potassium decreased 0.35 mEq/liter.

Congestive Heart Failure in the Cat

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1970
SUMMARY Congestive heart failure was diagnosed by means of clinical, radiographic, and necropsy findings in 129 of 45,004 cats examined from January, 1962, to June, 1969, in a hospital clinic in New York City. Twenty-two cats had congenital anomalies of the heart, and 107 cats had acquired cardiac lesions.

Anaemia in congestive heart failure

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2013
Anaemia is common in patients with congestive heart failure, and has an adverse effect on prognosis. This article discusses the advances in understanding of the pathophysiology of the anaemia, the treatment options including transfusion, and highlights areas in need of further development.

Magnesium and congestive heart failure

Acta Academiae Medicinae Wuhan, 1985
The aspect of Mg++ metabolism was studied in 83 patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). The result indicated that CHF per se and treatment with digoxin were not the causes of Mg++ depletion. Pronounced diuresis induced by diuretics increased markedly renal excretion of Mg++ and, in consequence, lowered the plasma Mg++ in 55% of the patients.

Epidemiology of congestive heart failure

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1985
Despite the paucity of epidemiologic work on congestive heart failure (CHF), the salient features of the natural course of cardiac failure are understood. The estimated 1983 incidence of CHF in the United States was 214,000 men and 184,000 women. The estimate of prevalence was 2.3 million persons, with a remarkable increase with advancing age and ...
