Therapy to decrease the load in congestive heart failure is now classified as acute and chronic vasodilator therapy. In this symposium, we presented prostacyclin (PG I2) as an acute and prazosin as a chronic vasodilator. Their hemodynamic and clinical effectiveness were evaluated and their effect on the sympathetic nervous system was also studied. We studied the effect of intravenous prostacyclin infusion in doses of 22 +/- 11 ng/kg/min in nine patients with severe congestive heart failure refractory to digitalis and diuretic drugs. After prostacyclin infusion, mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure decreased from 21.0 +/- 7.9 to 15.0 +/- 6.6 mmHg (p less than 0.001), mean arterial pressure from 98.9 +/- 12.8 to 76.2 +/- 7.0 mmHg (p less than 0.001), systemic vascular resistance from 2,574 +/- 384 to 1,368 +/- 283 dynes X sec X cm-5 (p less than 0.001), pulmonary vascular resistance from 1,008 +/- 451 to 443 +/- 135 dynes X sec X cm-5 (p less than 0.001) and pulmonary arteriolar resistance from 330 +/- 111 to 189 +/- 73 dynes X sec X cm-5 (p less than 0.001). The cardiac index increased from 2.0 +/- 0.37 to 3.2 +/- 0.59 l/min/m2 (p less than 0.001), and the stroke index from 27.6 +/- 8.69 to 42.0 +/- 0.62 ml/m2 (p less than 0.001). Moreover, prostacyclin therapy counteracted the sensation of coldness of the limbs and face, and patients felt warmth and mild flushing of the face. The effect of prazosin on the exercise duration time until dyspnea was evaluated by the treadmill test.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
