Vasodilators play an important role in the management of acute heart failure, particularly when increased afterload is the precipitating cause of decompensation. The time-honored approach to afterload reduction has been largely focused on use of intravenous nitrovasodilators and, when properly dosed, this class of agents does provide substantial symptom relief for patients with acute hypertensi...

Several hemodynamic and neurohormonal effects of vasodilators—including preload and afterload reduction, activation or inhib...

متن کاملVasodilators Across the Heart Failure Spectrum
The term heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has evolved to describe the broad clinical syndrome characterized by signs and symptoms of heart failure in patients in whom the ejection fraction (EF) falls within the low normal to normal range. This terminology is essentially descriptive, and implies neither etiology nor pathophysiology, although both continue to fuel vigorous d...
