Efficacy and safety of fasudil in treatment of elderly diastolic heart failure related pulmonary hypertension / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of Fasudil in treatment of elderly diastolic heart fail -ure related pulmonary hypertension ,and provide evidence for clinical treatment .Methods 70 cases of elderly dias-tolic heart failure related pulmonary hypertension were divided into the study group and control group of 35 cases in each group according to random number table methods ,the two groups were given beta blockers ,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and other drugs for treatment ,the study group was given fasudil on basis of that ,6min walking dis-tance,pulmonary artery systolic pressure ,arterial partial pressure of oxygen ( PaO2) of two groups before and after treatment as well as the changes of blood pressure and heart rate of the study group before and after treatment were compared.Results Before treatment,6min walking distance,pulmonary artery systolic pressure and PaO2 of the two groups were (290.3 ±1.3)m,(83.3 ±0.9)mmHg,(66.3 ±1.4)mmHg and (289.2 ±1.1)m,(82.9 ±0.8)mm-Hg,(65.9 ±1.3)mmHg showed no statistical significance (t=2.392,4.927,5.132,P=0.073,0.069,0.063),after treatment,6min walking distance ,pulmonary artery systolic pressure and PaO 2 of the study group were (410.4 ±2.3) m,(60.1 ±1.1) mmHg,(89.3 ±0.6) mmHg significantly better than those of the control group ,with statistically significant difference(t=8.918,9.142,11.319,P =0.024,0.019,0.017);the systolic blood pressure,diastolic pressure and heart rate of the study group before and after treatment were (132.8 ±2.1)mmHg,(84.3 ±1.1)mm-Hg,(69.2 ±1.4) times/min and (133.2 ±1.9) mmHg,(83.9 ±0.9) mmHg,(68.9 ±1.3) times/min showed no statistical significance(t=4.193,4.018,3.987,P=0.061,0.078,0.068).Conclusion Fasudil has a better effect in treatment of elderly diastolic heart failure related pulmonary hypertension ,which can significantly reduce the pulmo-nary artery pressure ,and has a little effect on the heart ,with high safety .
