Fetal congestive heart failure
Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2005Fetal echocardiography is used in the diagnosis of many forms of congenital heart disease, and in the assessment of the prognosis of cardiac lesions based on their anatomy and presentation in utero. However, the presence of signs of fetal heart failure such as hydrops or valvular regurgitation makes the assessment of prognosis more difficult.

The management of congestive heart failure
Current Problems in Cardiology, 1980The symptoms and physical findings of congestive heart failure are learned during the early stages of medical education. They are considered prominently in physical diagnosis courses even before a medical student's clinical clerkships begin. Yet, the diagnosis and proper management of congestive heart failure may still represent a challenge even for ...

Nitrates in Congestive Heart Failure
Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 1994Nitrates 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, 1984Depressed 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, 1946Increased 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, 1996In 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, 1971Nineteen 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, 1970SUMMARY 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, 2013Anaemia 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, 1985The 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.
