Abstract

The effect of chronic adjunctive vasodilator therapy was assessed in 14 symptomatic patients with idiopathic cardiomyopathy. Thirteen of the 14 patients improved by one or more in the New York Heart Association functional class, one remained unchanged. Three became asymptomatic (class I). Noninvasive and invasive (hemodynamic) parameters before and after vasodilators were assessed. The echocardiographic findings of septal and posterior wall thickness of 1.2 cm or greater were the best predictors of good response in our patients who subsequently became asymptomatic.

心室壁厚度:心肌病患者对血管扩张剂反应的预测因子。
对14例有症状的特发性心肌病患者进行慢性辅助血管扩张剂治疗。在纽约心脏协会的功能分类中,14名患者中有13名得到了一项或多项改善,1名保持不变。3例无症状(I级)。评估血管扩张剂使用前后的无创和有创(血流动力学)参数。超声心动图显示室间隔和后壁厚度为1.2厘米或更厚是我们的无症状患者良好反应的最佳预测指标。
