Abstract

Objective To analyse the therapeutic effect of Carvedilol in patients with severe heart failure.Methods The clinical data of 89 Carvedilol patients treated with dilated cardiomyopathy were retrospective analysis.Results The overall therapeutic effective rate was 98.88％,because of one death related to discontinued use of medication.Before and after treatment,systolic left ventricular cavity diameter (LVDD) were (68.25 ± 2.15) mm,(56.89 ±4.21) mm,respectively,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) were (28.63 ±0.33)％,(40.56 ±3.98) ％,respectively,there were significantly differences (t =7.215,16.877,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Carvedilol is the cornerstone in the drug treatments of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
