Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of small dose Urapidil in the treatment of patients with congestive heart failure. Methods 60 patients with congestive heart failure (NYHA class Ⅲ～Ⅳ) were randomly assigned to treatment with Urapidil (n=30) and Nitroglycerin (n=30). Intravenous Urapidil (100?g/min) or Nitroglycerin (10～20?g/min) was administered for 5～7 days in addition to ordinary treatment. Heart rate, blood pressure were measured and echocardiography was performed before and after the treatment. And side effects were recorded. Results The total effective rate was 86 7% in the Urapidil group, and 90% in Nitroglycerin group. No significant differences of heart rate and blood pressure were found after treatment between two groups. The ejection fraction measured by echocardiography increased significantly in two groups after the treatment, but more significantly in the Urapidil group. Conclusions It is efficacious, safe and well tolerated for intravaneus small dose Urapidil to treat congestive heart failure.
