2. Dobutamine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobutamine

   Dobutamine is used to treat acute but potentially reversible heart failure, such as which occurs during cardiac surgery or in cases of septic or cardiogenic shock, on the basis of its positive inotropic action. [6] Dobutamine can be used in cases of congestive heart failure to increase cardiac output.

3. 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 ...

4. Cardiogenic shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiogenic_shock

   Cardiogenic shock is caused by the failure of the heart to pump effectively. It is due to damage to the heart muscle , most often from a heart attack or myocardial contusion . [ 6 ] Other causes include abnormal heart rhythms , cardiomyopathy , heart valve problems, ventricular outflow obstruction (i.e. systolic anterior motion in hypertrophic ...

5. Ejection fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_fraction

   Modalities applied to measurement of ejection fraction is an emerging field of medical mathematics and subsequent computational applications. The first common measurement method is echocardiography, [7] [8] although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [8] [9] cardiac computed tomography, [8] [9] ventriculography and nuclear medicine (gated SPECT and radionuclide angiography) [8] [10 ...

6. Beta-1 adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-1_adrenergic_receptor

   Denopamine is used in the treatment of angina and has potential uses to treat congestive heart failure and pulmonary oedema. Dobutamine [11] (in cardiogenic shock) is a beta-1 agonist that treats cardiac decompensation. Xamoterol [11] (cardiac stimulant) acts as a partial agonist that improves heart function in studies with cardiac failure ...

7. Acute decompensated heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_decompensated_heart...

   Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a sudden worsening of the signs and symptoms of heart failure, which typically includes difficulty breathing , leg or feet swelling, and fatigue. [1] ADHF is a common and potentially serious cause of acute respiratory distress. The condition is caused by severe congestion of multiple organs by fluid ...
