Background : Congestive cardiac failure (CCF) has been found to be a clinical risk factor for stroke in patients with non rheumatic atrial fibrillation. Aims : To study CCF as a risk factor for stroke deaths and all cause deaths in coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods : Case control ...
congestive cardiac failure reduced myocardial contraction cardiac failure diagnosis and medical management inotropes and beta‐receptor agonists, dopamine and dobutamine diuretics indicated in congestive cardiac failure beta‐receptor antagonists (beta‐blockers) benefiting children pulmonary consolidation management ...
Congestive cardiac failure is a life-threatening medical emergency, most commonly occurring as an immediate or delayed complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or resulting from severe hypertension or valvular defects (stenosis or incompetence). Occasionally it is caused by patients' non-compli...
Angiotensin II facilitates growth of the heart and blood vessels and has been associated with cardiac hypertrophy; it therefore has a role in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure. While ACE inhibitors have been used effectively for a number of years in the management of congestive heart ...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has emerged as a key therapeutic option for patients with heart failure, particularly those with reduced ejection fraction andventricular dyssynchrony. By delivering electrical impulses to both theleft and right ventricles, CRT restores synchronized contraction, improvi...
The ultimate treatment is cardiac transplant surgery (heart transplant) or implantation of anartificial heart. References 1.ACC / AHA guidelines for the Evaluation and Management of Chronic Heart Failure in the Adult(http://www.acc.org/clinical/guidelines/failure/hf_index.htm)(PDF Copy(http://ww...
Orally active inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) have made a major impact on the clinical therapy of hypertension, congestive cardiac failure and ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction. The ACE inhibitors combine the advantages of efficacy and low incidence of side effects, ...
Congestive cardiac failure is a syndrome in which a decrease of cardiac output triggers a series of neuro-humoral compensatory mechanisms in part involving the kidney. In this response, dysfunction of atrial volume receptors as well as disturbances of the autonomic nervous system have recently been ...
Finally, in a subset of children with severe cardiac involvement, elective or emergent surgery plays an important role.100Valvular disease, rather than global myocarditis, is often the cause of congestive heart failure symptoms; and medical management is, therefore, limited in efficacy. When...
a decreased cardiac output. Congestive heart failure may result from a number of factors affecting the myocardium, altering systolic and/or diastolic function. As the condition progresses, activation of both the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system lead to an increase...
