Abstract:
BACKGROUND:In addition to standard therapy with ACE-inhibitors, digitalis and diuretics, beta-adrenergic receptor blockers have become a widely accepted strategy in the treatment of chronic heart failure. The role of calcium antagonists in CHF however remains controversial. To evaluate if a combination therapy of metoprolol and felodipine might improve hemodynamic parameters, a randomized and placebo-controlled study was designed.
METHODS AND RESULTS:Sixty-three patients with DCMP, LVEF

Age is a well-known determinant of GDF-15 levels, yet no study has analyzed the relationship between geriatric conditions and GDF-15. We hypothesize that geriatric conditions reflecting biological age might be stronger determinants of ...
