Combined vasodilator therapy in the treatment of chronic heart failure. 1981

J B McGuinness, and D Ballantyne, and R H Baxter, and R S Clark, and J I Weir

Treatment of resistant congestive cardiac faiure by vasodilators is now well accepted. Twelve such patients were started on Isosorbide Dinitrate and Hydralazine therapy and monitored for 24 hours. Oral treatment was then continued indefinitely. This group responded well to combined therapy and four had their regimes altered in the light of haemodynamic observations. It was then concluded that this type of treatment can be tailored to the individual patient to produce the best effects on preload and afterload.

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.
