Metabolic Modulation With Perhexiline in Chronic Heart Failure A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Short-Term Use of a Novel Treatment
Leong Lee,Ross T. Campbell,Michaela Scheuermann-Freestone,Rachel Taylor,Prasad Gunaruwan,Lynne Williams,Houman Ashrafian,John D. Horowitz,Alan G. Fraser,Kieran Clarke,Michael P. Frenneaux +10 more
TL;DR: In patients with CHF, metabolic modulation with perhexiline improved &OV0312;o2max, left ventricular ejection fraction, symptoms, resting and peak stress myocardial function, and skeletal muscle energetics, and per hexiline may represent a novel treatment for CHF with a good safety profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic manipulation in ischaemic heart disease, a novel approach to treatment.
TL;DR: Four metabolic antianginal drugs that exert their anti-ischaemic effects primarily by altering myocardial metabolism are reviewed and offer significant promise for the treatment of symptoms occurring due to inoperable aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and chronic heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of myocardial substrate use as a therapy for heart failure.
TL;DR: Evidence supporting the use of metabolic therapy in heart failure is presented and it is shown that the oxygen cost of energy generation is lessened when glucose is used as the substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lack of rapid aldosterone effects on forearm resistance vasculature in health
Prasad Gunaruwan,Matthias Schmitt,Justin Taylor,Leong Lee,Allan D. Struthers,Michael P. Frenneaux +5 more
TL;DR: Local intra-arterial infusion of aldosterone had no acute effect on forearm resistance vessels in healthy male volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Exogenous and Endogenous Natriuretic Peptides on Forearm Vascular Function in Chronic Heart Failure
Matthias Schmitt,Prasad Gunaruwan,N. Payne,Justin Taylor,Leong Lee,Andrew J.M. Broadley,Angus K Nightingale,John R. Cockcroft,Allan D. Struthers,John V. Tyberg,Michael P. Frenneaux +10 more
TL;DR: In cHF venous, but not arterial, ANP responsiveness is preserved, suggesting a preserved venodilator response to NP resistance.
