Evaluation Study of Congestive Heart Failure and Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Effectiveness (ESCAPE): design and rationale.
BACKGROUND There is little information about how to adjust pharmacologic agents in the treatment of patients with advanced congestive heart failure (CHF). Some studies have suggested that use of pulmonary artery catheterization to guide reductions in filling pressures may improve outcomes for patients with heart failure who are hospitalized with evidence of elevated filling pressures. However, ...
متن کاملHemodynamic effects of sildenafil in patients with congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension: combined administration with inhaled nitric oxide.
STUDY OBJECTIVES In patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) secondary to congestive heart failure, inhaled nitric oxide (NO) increases pulmonary vascular smooth-muscle intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) concentration, thereby decreasing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and increasing cardiac index (CI). However, these beneficial effects of inhaled NO are limited in magnitu...
متن کاملReduced Cardiac Index Is Not the Dominant Driver of Renal Dysfunction in Heart Failure.
BACKGROUND It is widely believed that a reduced cardiac index (CI) is a significant contributor to renal dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF). However, recent data have challenged this paradigm. OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the relationship between CI and renal function in a multicenter population of HF patients undergoing pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC). METH...
متن کاملPulmonary Blood Volume in Congestive Heart Failure
IN ANALYZING the clinical and hemodynamic features of congestive heart failure due to myocardial disease or associated with mitral stenosis, many authors indicate or clearly imply that a significant augmentation in pulmonary blood volume plays a major role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary congestion and edema.'-6 These conclusions have depended largely upon indirect evidence such as clinical ev...
متن کاملNoninvasive hemodynamic monitoring in heart failure: utilization of impedance cardiography.
The annual health care cost incurred by heart failure patients is about $56 billion, two thirds of which is spent on management of acutely decompensated patients. Hemodynamic evaluation is helpful for optimization of treatment, monitoring clinical outcomes, and overall prognostication of heart failure patients, but historically could only be obtained via costly invasive procedures that carry su...
