Left ventricular failure with labetalol.
A patient treated for hypertension with labetalol developed left ventricular failure. When the drug was withdrawn and the BP controlled with 2 other agents, the signs of heart failure regressed. The ill effects in this case could have been because the beta-blocking effects of labetalol are 4 to 6 times greater than the alpha-blocking effects. Caution should be exercised when prescribing this dr...
متن کاملChronic Left Ventricular Heart Failure
The effect of the vasodilator prazosin vs placebo on exercise duration until marked dyspnea, and on left ventricular function measured by echocardiography, was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized study in 24 patients with chronic left ventricular failure despite digitalis and diuretic therapy. Compared with the double-blind placebo, prazosin reduced resting systolic and diastolic blood pres...
متن کاملImpedance pneumograph studies in left ventricular failure.
Tidal volume can be measured by recording the changin impedance of the thorax caused by breathing. Thus breathing can be recorded quantitatively from two electrodes placed on each side of the chest. The method is especially useful in breathless patients and studies of breathing patterns during sleep. A patient with a long circulation time due to left ventricular failure had periodic breathing b...
متن کاملHydrallazine alone in acute left ventricular failure.
Introduction The potent loop diuretics have an unrivalled place in the management of acute left ventricular failure (LVF). Few situations can be envisaged in which one of these agents cannot be given, although the therapeutic response may in many cases be poor (e.g. in renal failure). There seems little need for alternative agents to fulfil the role of loop diuretics, although the vasodilators ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in chronic renal failure.
Left ventricular function was studied in 14 patients with end-stage chronic renal failure using non-invasive methods (echocardiography and systolic time intervals). Patients were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 consisted of 5 patients who were normotensive at the time of study and group 2 of 7 patients who were hypertensive when studied. Group 3 consisted of 2 patients: one was receiving propran...
