Cardioprotective effect of histamine H2 antagonists in congestive heart failure

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS

During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...

Histamine H2 Receptor Antagonists, Left Ventricular Morphology, and Heart Failure Risk: The MESA Study.

BACKGROUND Myocardial H2 receptor activation may promote cardiac fibrosis and apoptosis in pre-clinical models and histamine H2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) use may improve symptoms in participants with heart failure (HF); however, relationships between H2RA use, incident HF, and longitudinal change in left ventricular (LV) morphology are not known. OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whe...

Precipitating factors of congestive heart failure in admitted patients of Fatemieh Hospital in Semnan, Iran

Introduction: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a pathophysiologic state in which an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for the failure of the heart to pump blood at a commensurate rate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues and/or allows it to do so only from an abnormally elevated diastolic volume. In this study, the prevalence of precipitating factors of CHF in Semna...

Cardioprotective Effect of Resveratrol in a Postinfarction Heart Failure Model

Despite great advances in therapies observed during the last decades, heart failure (HF) remained a major health problem in western countries. In order to further improve symptoms and survival in patients with heart failure, novel therapeutic strategies are needed. In some animal models of HF resveratrol (RES), it was able to prevent cardiac hypertrophy, contractile dysfunction, and remodeling....
