Objective: To observe the effect of tolvaptan on treating the patients with intractable heart failure (HF) combining hyponatremia for their clinical conditions and improvements. Methods: A total of 100 relevant patients treated in our hospital from 2014-01 to 2015-01 were studied. Based on conventional treatment as cardiac stimulant, dieresis and correction of electrolyte disturbance, the patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: Tolvaptan group, the patients received tolvaptan15 mg/d for 5 days and Control group, the patients had no tolvaptan administration.n=50 in each group. The improvement of clinical symptoms, changes of cardiac, renal functions and blood levels of electrolyte were compared between 2 groups after treatment. Results:① Compared with Control group, Tolvaptan group had significantly improved dyspnea, reduced lung moist rale and low limb edemaP<0.01; Tolvaptan group showed increased 24 h urine volume (2416.0±771.6 vs 1124.6±215.7) ml,P<0.01, decreased plasma levels of NT-proBNP (2678.04 ± 537.09) pg/ml vs (4051.34 ± 306.07) pg/ml,P<0.01 and increased blood levels of sodium (139.08 ± 6.18) mmol/L vs (129.44 ± 2.20) mmol/L,P<0.01. ②In Tolvaptan group, the above improvements were found in 38 patients, and with 1 day tolvaptan therapy, their blood nitrogen dropped from (10.39 ± 1.23) mmol/L to (7.28 ± 1.53) mmol/L,P<0.01; the other 12 patients had no such effect, and with 1 day tolvaptan therapy, their blood nitrogen elevated from (10.39±1.23) mmol/L to (13.38 ± 0.66) mmol/L,P<0.01. Conclusion: Tolvaptan could effectively improve clinical symptom and cardiac function in patients with intractable HF, it is helpful to increase blood sodium level; the efifcacy of tolvaptan might be evaluated by the changes of blood nitrogen at the early stage of treatment.

Objective To investigate the value of adenosine stress myocardial contrast echocardiography(MCE) in evaluating the myocardial perfusion in patients with coronary artery stenosis in different degrees. Methods The 384 myocardial segments governed by the corresponding coronary arteries with different degrees of stenosis in 24 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) were divided into group A (normal),B (50%~75%) ,C (76%~89%) and D (≥90%). Parametric quantification(PQ) was applied at rest and adenosine stress MCE to analyze myocardial perfusion by parameters (A,β and A×β). Then the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed according to the rangeability of the parameters and the cutoff points, sensibility and specificity were obtained. Results At rest, A,β and A ×β in group A,B,C and D decreased by degrees,while there were no significant differences between group A and B. At adenosine stress, the parameter rangeability increased in group A and B, while decreased in group C and D. The ROC curve analyses of parameter rangeability showed that the area under the curve of the rangeability of parameter A ×β was the largest when the rangeability was applied to diagnose stenosis of coronary artery,and the sensibility and specificity were 81.3% and 94. 9% for group B,82.6% and 84.5% for group C,71.9 % and 86. 3 % for group D. Conclusions Adenosine stress MCE can be applied to diagnose the various degrees of stenosis of coronary artery.
