Simvastatin treatment attenuates increased respiratory variability and apnea/hypopnea index in rats with chronic heart failure.
Cheyne-Stokes respiration and cardiac arrhythmias are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Enhanced carotid body chemoreflex (CBC) sensitivity is associated with these abnormalities in CHF. Reduced carotid body (CB) nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) levels play an important role in the enhanced CBC. In other disease models, S...
متن کاملRespiratory Muscle Dysfunction in Congestive Heart Failure
Background—In congestive heart failure (CHF), the prognostic significance of impaired respiratory muscle strength has not been established. Methods and Results—Maximal inspiratory pressure (Pimax) was prospectively determined in 244 consecutive patients (207 men) with CHF (ischemic, n575; idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, n5169; age, 54611 years; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 2261...
متن کاملTreatment of Congestive Heart failure

The term “congestive heart failure” implies that the impaired blood flow is causing fluid retention in the lungs, legs, ankles or feet. Other common symptoms include shortness of breath when lying down or during exercise, fatigue and weakness, reduced exercise capacity, and rapi...
متن کاملIncreased oxidative stress in patients with congestive heart failure.
OBJECTIVES We sought to study the markers of lipid peroxidation and defenses against oxidative stress in patients with varying degrees of heart failure. BACKGROUND Despite advances in other areas of cardiovascular disease, the morbidity and mortality from congestive heart failure (CHF) are increasing. Data mainly from animal models suggest that free radical injury may promote myocardial decom...
متن کاملCONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS
During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...
