Felodipine in patients with chronic heart failure: discrepant haemodynamic and clinical effects.
Previous open studies have suggested that felodipine, a selective calcium antagonist and vasodilator, may be useful in the treatment of heart failure. A double blind placebo controlled crossover trial was therefore conducted to investigate the clinical and haemodynamic effects of felodipine in 15 patients with chronic ischaemic heart failure in New York Heart Association symptom class III. Felo...
متن کاملEffects of vasodilator treatment with felodipine on haemodynamic responses to treadmill exercise in congestive heart failure.
Treatment with vasodilators in heart failure has not always produced a useful improvement in the haemodynamic responses to exercise, and in many cases early drug tolerance has further limited the potential of this type of treatment. In a study to evaluate the efficacy of felodipine, a new calcium antagonist with selective vasodilator properties, in the management of congestive heart failure 10 ...
متن کاملAbnormal haemodynamic postural response in patients with chronic heart failure
AIM The objective was to evaluate in treated heart failure (HF) patients whether multidrug therapy interferes with the cardiovascular autonomic response to postural stress. METHODS AND RESULTS Blood pressure (BP; Finapres), heart rate (HR), stroke volume, and total peripheral resistance (TPR) responses to standing up were measured in 33 HF patients and 10 healthy age-matched controls. Ten hyp...
متن کاملAcute haemodynamic and metabolic effects of felodipine in congestive heart failure.
Felodipine is a new calcium antagonist with a high degree of vascular selectivity. To examine its potential value as an afterload reducing agent in congestive heart failure 11 patients were studied. Substantial increments in cardiac index were associated with a fall in systemic vascular resistance. Left ventricular end diastolic pressure was also significantly reduced. Although left ventricular...
متن کاملHaemodynamic effects of hydralazine at rest and during exercise in patients with chronic heart failure.
The administration of vasodilator drugs has been shown to have beneficial effects at rest in patients with acute or chronic heart failure. To determine the efficacy of hydralazine during exercise, 10 severely symptomatic patients with chronic left ventricular failure from diffuse coronary disease or cardiomyopathy were studied at rest and during upright exercise on a bicycle ergometer. All pati...
