Pentoxifylline for heart failure: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Recent trials have indicated a beneficial effect of pentoxifylline on measures of inflammation and markers of cardiac dysfunction in people with heart failure. However, it is uncertain whether pentoxifylline should be used routinely in the management of heart failure. OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of pentoxifylline in heart failure. DESIGN Systematic review of randomis...
متن کاملNovel mechanisms of sympathetic regulation in chronic heart failure.
The idea that activation of the sympathetic nervous system is part and parcel of the apparent positive feedback cycle of cardiac deterioration in the setting of chronic heart failure (CHF) is not a new one. Several reviews have clearly summarized the evidence for this concept using both clinical data and information from experimental models.1–4 Evidence from both neural recordings and measureme...
متن کاملCentral Mechanisms of Abnormal Sympathoexcitation in Chronic Heart Failure
It has been recognized that the sympathetic nervous system is abnormally activated in chronic heart failure, and leads to further worsening chronic heart failure. In the treatment of chronic heart failure many clinical studies have already suggested that the inhibition of the abnormal sympathetic hyperactivity by beta blockers is beneficial. It has been classically considered that abnormal symp...
متن کاملchronic pain in chronic heart failure: a review article
heart failure (hf) is one of the main causes of death and disability in the world. the prevalence of hf in developed countries is between 1% and 2% of the adult population and approximately between 6% and 10% in the elderly, giving rise to high costs of care and treatment. indeed, in the united states, the direct and indirect costs exceeded 23 billion dollars in 2002. hf is typically character...
متن کاملMetabolic mechanisms in heart failure.
Although neurohumoral antagonism has successfully reduced heart failure morbidity and mortality, the residual disability and death rate remains unacceptably high. Though abnormalities of myocardial metabolism are associated with heart failure, recent data suggest that heart failure may itself promote metabolic changes such as insulin resistance, in part through neurohumoral activation. A detrim...
