Spironolactone inhibits the transcardiac extraction of aldosterone in patients with congestive heart failure.
OBJECTIVES The study evaluated the transcardiac extraction or spillover of aldosterone (ALDO) in normal subjects and in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND Aldosterone promotes collagen synthesis and structural remodeling of target organs such as the heart. Spironolactone, an ALDO receptor antagonist, has recently been reported to reduce the mortality of patients with CHF...
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 کاملThe effects of the loop diuretics furosemide and torasemide on diuresis in dogs and cats.
Torasemide is a new loop diuretic that combines the effects of furosemide and spironolactone. There are no reports on the effects of torasemide in cats and dogs. This study compared the diuretic effects of furosemide and torasemide in cats and dogs. Cats with pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy were given oral placebo, torasemide 0.3 mg/kg, or furosemide 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg. Control and mitral...
متن کاملComparison of therapies with torasemide or furosemide in patients with congestive heart failure from a pharmacoeconomic viewpoint.
This observational study compared patients suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF) who were treated with loop diuretics torasemide or furosemide. Data documenting the course of the disease and its associated costs over a period of one year were collected retrospectively. A total of 400 CHF patients, 200 in each treatment group, were included in the analysis. Concomitant ACE inhibitor ther...
متن کاملTorasemide, a long-acting loop diuretic, reduces the progression of myocarditis to dilated cardiomyopathy.
Torasemide is a long-acting loop diuretic that combines the effects of both furosemide and spironolactone. It has been reported that torasemide may block the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and therefore it might attenuate myocardial remodeling accompanied by left ventricular dysfunction. However, nothing is known about the effect of torasemide on myocardial remodeling in a rat model in wh...
