Abnormal Baroreflex Mechanisms in Congestive Heart Failure
P atients with low output congestive heart failure have less-than-normal slowing of heart rate during pharmacologic increases of arterial pressure, indicating impairment of the arterial baroreceptor-heart rate reflex.1 The mechanism underlying this abnormality is not fully understood and could involve one or more components of the reflex arc, including an afferent limb (generation and transmiss...

متن کاملDronedarone in patients with congestive heart failure: insights from ATHENA
AIMS Dronedarone is a new multichannel blocking antiarrhythmic drug for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). In patients with recently decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF) and depressed LV function, the drug was associated with excess mortality compared with a placebo group.

متن کاملMechanisms and management of diuretic resistance in congestive heart failure.
Diuretic drugs are used almost universally in patients with congestive heart failure, most frequently the potent loop diuretics. Despite their unproven effect on survival, their indisputable efficacy in relieving congestive symptoms makes them first line therapy for most patients. In the treatment of more advanced stages of heart failure diuretics may fail to control salt and water retention de...
متن کاملMechanisms of carvedilol action in human congestive heart failure.
The precise mechanism by which beta-adrenoceptor blockers exert their beneficial actions in patients with heart failure remains unclear. Several possibilities have been proposed, including heart rate reduction, beta2-adrenoceptor-mediated modulation of catecholamine release, antagonism of the receptor-mediated toxic actions of norepinephrine on the myocardium, and favorable effects on myocardia...
