The combination ace-inhibitors plus canreonate in patients with anterior myocardial infarction: safety and tolerability study.

2001

There is recent evidence that aldosterone (ALDO) exerts pro-fibrotic effects, acting via the mineral-corticoid receptors in cardiovascular tissues and partial aldosterone escape during ACE-inhibition treatment occurs.A double blind randomised study was performed to evaluate the feasibility, and tolerability of the administration of the 25 mg/day of canreonate plus captopril versus captopril alone in patients with anterior AMI unsuitable for thrombolysis and/or not receiving thrombolytic treatment, and unreperfused after thrombolysis. Fifty five patients hospitalised for anterior AMI,with a serum creatinine concentration2.0 mg/dl and a serum K concentration5.0 mmol per liter were randomised …

Effects of high-dose furosemide and small-volume hypertonic saline solution infusion in comparison with a high dose of furosemide as bolus in refract…

2003

Background Diuretics have been accepted as first-line treatment in refractory congestive heart failure (CHF), but a lack of response to them is a frequent event. A randomized, single-blind study was performed to evaluate the effects of the combination of high-dose furosemide and small-volume hypertonic saline solution (HSS) infusion in the treatment of refractory New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV CHF and a normosodic diet during follow-up. Materials and Methods One hundred seven patients (39 women and 68 men, age range 65-90 years) with refractory CHF (NYHA class IV) of different etiologies, who were unresponsive to high oral doses of furosemide, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhib…
