14% (stage 4) and 21% (stage 1) when prostaglandin E 1 was administered during four stages of left ventricular pump failure, which ranged from a 20% decrease in [ +dP dt]max (congestive heart failure stage 1) to a 50% decrease in [ +dP dt]max (congestive heart failure stage 4)....

Trying to enhance cardiac function during the later stages of heart failure cannot be done over the long term. The solution lies in defining and preventing the causes of myocardial failure or arresting and reversing its evolution. Recent investigations suggest that free radicals may be important ...
