Abstract:
Objective To observe the efficacy,feasibility and safety of continous intravenous infusion of furosemide,dopamine combined with Shenmai on treatment of refractory heart failure. Methods Fifty-six patients with diuretic resistance and refractory heart failure were divided into control group(28 patients)and treatment group(28 patients)by random digits table. Conventional diuretics and other anti-heart failure treatment were used in two groups, meanwhile, continuous intravenous infusion of furosemide,dopamine and Shenmai were used in treatment group for 5-7 days. The clinical symptoms and signs, pulmonary edema in chest X-ray and the improvements of pulmonary congestion were observed before and after treatment. Results In treatment group, 10 patients were markedly effective, 14 patients were effective, and 4 patients were unfruitful. The total effective rate was 85.7%(24/28). In control group, 3 patients were markedly effective, 10 patients were effective, and 15 patients were unfruitful. The total effective rate was 46.4%(13/28). There was significant difference in total effective rate between two groups (P ＜ 0.05). The indexes of left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, fractional shortening, left ventricular ejection fraction and cardiac index were significantly improved in treatment group(P ＜ 0.05), but was not significantly improved in control group(P ＞ 0.05). After treatment,2 patients emerged hypokalemia and hyponatremia, after symptomatic treatment,they all recovered. Conclusion Conventional treatment combined with continuous intravenous infusion of furosemide,dopamine and Shenmai in patients with refractory heart failure is markedly effective, feasible and safe.
