Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous fenopraine and lanatoside C for the treatment of rapid ventricular rate in patients with atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure.
The concentration of serum adrenocorticotrophin(ACTH) and cortisol(F) were measured by RIA in 32 cases of male elderly patients with congestive heart failure and in 10 healthy men serving as controls.
The classical ones are things like chronic congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, diabetes and anybody who really is on any immunosuppressive regimen.
If the shunt is large enough such that the initial symptoms aren't noticed and the TGA isn't repaired, the heart can progress to congestive heart failure.
Now, we do this all the time for pacemakers and defibrillators, basically for all sorts of congestive heart failure and electrical anomalies of the heart.
In both cases, blood backs up into the lungs, causing congestion or fluid buildup, which is why it's also often known as congestive heart failure, or just CHF.
