Creatine supplementation in congestive heart failure.
I was particularly interested in the paper published in Cardiovascular Research (30, 413-418) by Gordon and co-workers entitled: Creatine supplementation in chronic heart failure increases skeletal muscle creatine phosphate and muscle performance. One of the objectives of their study was to evaluate the effects of creatine supplementation (20 g daily for 10 days) on ejection fraction in patient...
متن کاملThe effect of dietary creatine supplementation on skeletal muscle metabolism in congestive heart failure.
AIMS To assess the effects of dietary creatine supplementation on skeletal muscle metabolism and endurance in patients with chronic heart failure. METHODS A forearm model of muscle metabolism was used, with a cannula inserted retrogradely into an antecubital vein of the dominant forearm. Maximum voluntary contraction was measured using handgrip dynanometry. Subjects performed handgrip exercis...

متن کاملCongestive Heart Failure
The heart is composed of two independent pumping systems, one on the left side and one on the right. The right chamber, or right atrium, of the heart relaxes and expands to fill with blood that has returned from the body. (This relaxed action causes diastolic pressure, recorded as the second and lower number when measuring blood pressure). The used blood is poor in oxygen and rich in carbon dio...
متن کاملCongestive heart failure.
Patients with acute decompensated heart failure are usually critically ill and require immediate treatment. However, most are not volume overloaded. Emergency department (ED) management is based on rapid initiation of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation and aggressive titration of nitrates. Afterload reduction with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor can be considered. A diuretic s...
