    Extractions: Series Editor: Nicholas A. DiNubile, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 26 - NO. 8 - AUGUST 98 In Brief: Congestive heart failure (CHF) patients who exercise regularly can increase exercise tolerance, decrease dyspnea and fatigue, reduce the risk of arrhythmias, and improve quality of life. Initial stress testing is important for assessing a patient's physiologic response to exercise and for establishing a target heart rate for an individualized exercise program. Patients may need to begin aerobic exercise with interval training and progress slowly. Strength exercise is also useful. Exercise used along with the customarily prescribed CHF medications improves symptoms more than either modality alone. T he incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF) and the resulting death rate (1) have risen significantly in recent decades, partially because of the aging of the population. Over 4 million Americans now suffer from the disorder, which, broadly defined, is an inability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's metabolic needs. The causes are many, but the vast majority of cases involve left ventricular dysfunction related to coronary artery disease, hypertension, or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (2). CHF patients were traditionally counseled to rest and avoid exercise in order to delay disease progression and to promote diuresis induced by bed rest (3). However, CHF theory and clinical practice have changed radically, especially in the last decade, as research has demonstrated that exercise offers much gain at little risk (3-9). Indeed, most CHF patients who exercise can markedly improve their functional status and quality of life (3,5-8). In addition, exercise may reduce the risk of death for CHF patients, just as it does for patients who have coronary artery disease (10).

75. CHFpatients.com - Coreg And Beta-blockers For Heart Failure
    Information for patients with congestive heart failure.  
    http://www.chfpatients.com/coreg.htm
    
    Extractions: Updated January 19, 2004 Coreg is used to treat CHF, as long as the patient does not already have too-low blood pressure or asthma. The usual target dose depends on your weight. If you weigh 187 pounds or less, it will probably be 25mg twice a day. If you weigh more then 187 pounds, it will probably be 50mg twice a day, if you tolerate that dose. You should start at 3.125mg once or twice a day, and work your way up. The generic name is carvedilol with brand names in different countries like Coreg, Dilitrend, Dimitone, and Kredex. Your weakened heart is wearing itself out, trying to make up for its weak pumping action by pumping more times per minute. Beta-blockers slow your heart down, which slows down this wearing-out process. Coreg also blocks alpha receptors in artery walls. This dilates (expands) your arteries, lowering the resistance your heart must pump against - your blood pressure.

    Extractions: Overview of Heart Failure Congestive heart failure, or heart failure, is a term used to describe any condition in which the heart is unable to adequately pump blood throughout the body and/or unable to prevent blood from "backing up" into the lungs. These conditions cause symptoms such as shortness of breath (dyspnea), fatigue, weakness, and swelling (edema) of the legs and sometimes the abdomen. Normal Blood Flow of the Heart The heart has a right side and a left side. Each side has a chamber that receives blood returning to the heart (atrium) and a muscular chamber that is responsible for pumping blood out of the heart (ventricle). Atria are relatively thin-walled chambers, whereas the ventricles are much more muscular. Blood passes from the atria into the ventricles through two processes. During the "resting phase," when the ventricles are not contracting, the tricuspid and mitral valves open. Some of the blood that has accumulated in the atria passively flows through the tricuspid and mitral valves into the right and left ventricles, respectively. The atria then contract, actively pumping blood out and into the ventricles. Once the ventricles fill with blood, they contract, pumping blood out of the ventricles and to the lungs and body.

Causes of CHF How the Body Compensates for a Failing Heart Symptoms of Congestive Heart Failure Physical Exam Findings Diagnostic Tests Treatment of CHF Medications Surgery for CHF Lots More Information Heart failure, or congestive heart failure (CHF), is a very common disease, afflicting approximately 4.8 million Americans. While many other forms of heart disease have become less common in recent years, CHF has been increasing steadily. This may be because more people with other forms of heart disease survive longer but are left with damaged hearts, which leads to CHF. Also, as the elderly population increases, there are more people at high risk of developing CHF. Approximately 400,000 new CHF cases occur each year, and it is the most common diagnosis in hospital patients over 65. In this article, we will discuss congestive heart failure its causes, its warning signs and how it can be treated.
