  2. Management of heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_heart_failure

    Sleep apnea is an under-recognized risk factor for heart failure. Uncontrolled sleep apnea may increase the risk of heart failure by up to 140%. [4] Weight reduction – through physical activity and dietary modification, as obesity is a risk factor for heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy. Effective weight management has been shown ...

  3. Cardiotonic agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiotonic_agent

    Digoxin helps alleviate symptoms and reduce hospitalizations related to heart failure, but it does not offer any mortality-reducing benefits. [86] Digoxin may be considered in patients who remain symptomatic despite receiving treatment with a first-line combination of an ACE inhibitor (or ARNI ), a beta-blocker , and a mineralocorticoid ...

  4. Cardiovascular agents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_agents

    Antihypertensive agents comprise multiple classes of compounds that are intended to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). Antihypertensive therapy aims to maintain a blood pressure goal of <140/90 mmHg in all patients, as well as to prevent the progression or recurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in hypertensive patients with established CVD. [2]

  5. Carvedilol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carvedilol

    Carvedilol reduces the risk of death, hospitalisations, and recurring heart attacks in patients with moderate to severe heart failure (with an ejection fraction <40%) following a heart attack [15] [16] [17] Carvedilol has also been proven to reduce death and hospitalization in patients with severe heart failure. [18]

  6. ACE inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACE_inhibitor

    The ACE inhibitor enalapril has also been shown to reduce cardiac cachexia in patients with chronic heart failure. [51] Cachexia is a poor prognostic sign in patients with chronic heart failure. [52] ACE inhibitors are under early investigation for the treatment of frailty and muscle wasting (sarcopenia) in elderly patients without heart ...

    the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure (incidence 21.8% vs 26.5%) cardiovascular death (incidence 13.3% vs 16.5%) first hospitalization for worsening heart failure (incidence 12.8% vs 15.6%), and; all-cause mortality (incidence 17.0% vs 19.8%)

  8. Isosorbide dinitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosorbide_dinitrate

    Isosorbide dinitrate is a medication used for heart failure, esophageal spasms, and to treat and prevent chest pain from not enough blood flow to the heart. [1] It has been found to be particularly useful in heart failure due to systolic dysfunction together with hydralazine. [2] [1] It is taken by mouth or under the tongue. [1]

  9. Coenzyme Q10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coenzyme_Q10

    A 2017 meta-analysis of people with heart failure taking 30–100 mg/d of CoQ 10 found a 31% lower mortality and increased exercise capacity, with no significant difference in the endpoints of left heart ejection fraction. [39] A 2021 meta-analysis found that coenzyme Q10 was associated with a 31% lower all-cause mortality in HF patients. [40]
