TL;DR: In patients with asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction, long-term administration of captopril was associated with an improvement in survival and reduced morbidity and mortality due to major cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Amlodipine on Morbidity and Mortality in Severe Chronic Heart Failure.
Milton Packer,Christopher M. O'Connor,Jalal K. Ghali,Milton L. Pressler,Peter E. Carson,Robert N. Belkin,Alan B. Miller,Gerald W. Neuberg,David J. Frid,John H. Wertheimer,Anne B. Cropp,David L. DeMets +11 more
TL;DR: A new calcium-channel blocker, amlodipine, did not increase cardiovascular morbidity or mortality in patients with severe chronic heart failure and the possibility that amlidipine prolongs survival in Patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy requires further study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diuretic resistance predicts mortality in patients with advanced heart failure
Gerald W. Neuberg,Alan B. Miller,Christopher M. O'Connor,Robert N. Belkin,Peter E. Carson,Anne B. Cropp,David J. Frid,Regina G. Nye,Milton L. Pressler,John H. Wertheimer,Milton Packer +10 more
TL;DR: The independent association of high diuretic doses with mortality suggests that diUREtic resistance should be considered an indicator of prognosis in patients with chronic CHF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do the Results of Randomized Clinical Trials of Cardiovascular Drugs Influence Medical Practice
Gervasio A. Lamas,Marc A. Pfeffer,Peggy Hamm,John H. Wertheimer,Jean-Lucien Rouleau,Eugene Braunwald +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that randomized clinical trials have a measurable influence on medical practice patterns and changes in treatment practices for this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection Bias in the Use of Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Marc A. Pfeffer,Lemuel A. Moyé,Eugene Braunwald,Lofty L. Basta,Edward J. Brown,Thomas E. Cuddy,Gilles R. Dagenais,Gregory C. Flaker,Edward M. Geltman,Bernard J. Gersh,Steven Goldman,Gervasio A. Lamas,Milton Packer,Jean L. Rouleau,Jean L. Rouleau,John D. Rutherford,Richard M. Steingart,John H. Wertheimer +17 more
TL;DR: Although the Survival and Ventricular Enlargement Study population was selected for left ventricular dysfunction, the majority of patients who currently are judged clinically as unsuitable for thrombolytic therapy have a higher risk for adverse cardiovascular events.
