Successful management of severe congestive cardiac failure with enalapril. 1983

K Dickstein, and T Gundersen

The new angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril (MK-421) was administered to a patient with severe congestive cardiac failure. Dramatic and sustained symptomatic and hemodynamic improvement is reported. The possible clinical significance of this agent's favorable profile is briefly discussed.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
