Sodium nitroprusside for advanced low-output heart failure.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to examine the safety and efficacy of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) for patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and low-output states. BACKGROUND Inotropic therapy has been predominantly used in the management of patients with ADHF presenting with low cardiac output.

متن کاملUltrafiltration in the management of refractory congestive heart failure.
Ultrafiltration was performed in nine patients with congestive cardiac failure that was refractory to conventional medical treatment. A mean of 12 X 7 litres of fluid was removed, and there was a sustained symptomatic improvement in all patients. Weight loss continued after ultrafiltration and a sustained increase in serum sodium concentration was also noted. A transient fall in right atrial pr...
متن کاملRenal effects of nitroprusside and hydralazine in patients with congestive heart failure.
The acute effects of nitroprusside infusion and intravenous hydralazine on renal hemodynamics and function were evaluated in nine male patients with severe, low cardiac output, congestive heart failure (CHF). Both drugs resulted in marked systemic hemodynamic improvement. Nitroprusside had a more profound effect on pulmonary artery pressure, while hydralazine produced a greater elevation in car...
