  • Title: [Treatment of chronic cardiac insufficiency in 1983].
    Author: Turini GA.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1983 Jul 02; 113(26):951-6. PubMed ID: 6612276.
    Abstract:
    Identifying and correcting the cause is the ideal treatment of the clinical syndrome of chronic congestive heart failure. Whenever such an approach is impossible or does not suffice, the next step is to suppress precipitating factors and to prescribe rest, a low salt diet, digitalis and diuretics. If the patient remains symptomatic, vasodilators such as nitrates, hydralazin, prazosin or captopril may be very helpful. The physiopathological basis for a rational and practical approach to these various stages of therapy is reviewed.
