Catecholamines Induce Left Ventricular Subclinical Systolic Dysfunction: A Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography Study [PDF]
Background: Pheochromocytomas (PHEO) are tumors arising from chromaffin cells from the adrenal medulla, having the ability to produce, metabolize and secrete catecholamines. The overproduction of catecholamines leads by many mechanisms to the impairment in the left ventricle (LV) function, however, endocardial measurement of systolic function did not ...

Aldosterone Blockade in Patients With Systolic Left Ventricular Dysfunction [PDF]
The patient, W.L., is a 62-year-old white man with a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and an anterior Q-wave myocardial infarction 3 years ago. He has had 2 admissions for heart failure in the past 6 months. He was last discharged 2 months ago on aspirin 325 mg daily, simvastatin 40 mg daily, enalapril 10 mg BID, metoprolol XL 100 mg ...
