متن کاملPlasma renin activity in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction on optimal medical therapy
BACKGROUND Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) is detrimental through promotion of ventricular remodeling and salt and water retention. AIMS The aims of this article are to describe RAAS activity in distinct HFREF populations and to assess its prognostic impact. METHODS Venous blood samples were prospectively obtaine...
متن کاملSustained Medical Therapy for Stable Heart Failure
Cardiac transplantation is predicted to improve survival for patients with severe symptoms of heart failure and ejection fraction of 20% or less, but the exercise capacity after cardiac transplantation is less than normal. Patients responding to vasodilators and diuretics have progressive improvement in exercise capacity despite low ejection fraction. We hypothesized that among patients current...
