The effect of digoxin on mortality and morbidity in patients with heart failure

Gilbert J. Perry, +398 more
TL;DR: Digoxin did not reduce overall mortality, but it reduced the rate of hospitalization both overall and for worsening heart failure, which defines more precisely the role of digoxin in the management of chronic heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative two-dimensional echocardiographic measurements are major predictors of adverse cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction. The protective effects of captopril.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the linkage between attenuation of left ventricular enlargement by captopril after infarction and improved clinical outcome and two-dimensional echocardiography provides important and independent prognostic information in patients afterinfarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction of Cardiovascular Risk by Regression of Electrocardiographic Markers of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy by the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor Ramipril

TL;DR: The ACE inhibitor ramipril decreases the development and causes regression of ECG-LVH independent of blood pressure reduction, and these changes are associated with reduced risk of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

VLDL, apolipoproteins B, CIII, and E, and risk of recurrent coronary events in the cholesterol and recurrent events (CARE) trial

TL;DR: The plasma concentrations of V LDL particles and apoCIII in VLDL and LDL are more specific measures of coronary heart disease risk than plasma triglycerides perhaps because their known metabolic properties link them more closely to atherosclerosis.
