Neurohumoral changes in chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Humoral systems play an important role in the pathophysiology and development of chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS We conducted a search of neurohumoral activation in heart failure and its risk in the development of CHF. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Neurohumoral factors may be divided into vasoconstrictive, vasodilative and cytokines. The main vasoconstrictive systems are the renin-...
متن کاملPATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE Isometric exercise in patients with chronic advanced heart failure: hemodynamic and neurohumoral evaluation
We evaluated the hemodynamic effects of isometric exercise in 53 patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and compared them with those found in 10 normal subjects. In both groups, isometric exercise increased heart rate and blood pressure. Systemic resistance increased in patients with CHF (1862 + 520 vs 2126 ± 642 dyne-sec-cm-5; p < .001) but not in normal subjects (1359 + 268 vs 1380 ± 25...
متن کاملNeurohumoral activation in heart failure: the role of adrenergic receptors.
Heart failure (HF) is a common endpoint for many forms of cardiovascular disease and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The development of end-stage HF often involves an initial insult to the myocardium that reduces cardiac output and leads to a compensatory increase in sympathetic nervous system activity. Acutely, the sympathetic hyperactivity through the activation of beta-adrene...
متن کاملEffects of torasemide on left ventricular function and neurohumoral factors in patients with chronic heart failure.
The effect of torasemide and furosemide therapy was compared in 50 patients who had chronic heart failure and symptoms [NYHA class II-III] despite long-term therapy with both low-dose furosemide and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. In this randomized 6-month, open-label trial, baseline and follow-up echocardiograms and neurohumoral assays were obtained in 25 group F patients (continued...
متن کاملVasopeptidase inhibition with omapatrilat in chronic heart failure: acute and long-term hemodynamic and neurohumoral effects.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the acute and long-term hemodynamic and neurohumoral effects of the vasopeptidase inhibitor omapatrilat in human heart failure. BACKGROUND Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition constitutes a major advance in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Simultaneous inhibition of both neutral endopeptidase and ACE with omapatrilat may represent a new treatm...
