Comparison of clinical efficacy of metoprolol combined with irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide and non-invasive ventilator in the emergency treatment of patients with severe heart failure

摘要

Clinical efficacy of metoprolol combined with irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide and non-invasive ventilator in the emergency treatment of patients with severe heart failure (HF) was investigated. A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 124 patients with severe HF admitted to Binzhou Medical University Hospital from May 2012 to August 2016 was performed. Among them, 78 patients who were treated with metoprolol combined with irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide and non-invasive ventilator for emergency treatment were enrolled into the Research Group, while the Control Group consisted of 46 patients treated with routine medical treatment. Echocardiographic parameters, 6-minute walking test results, the efficacy of the emergency treatment, cardiac function grading, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were compared between the two groups. After the emergency treatment, the echocardiographic indexes of both groups increased to different extents (P<0.05). Compared with the results before, patients of both groups walked longer within six minutes after the emergency treatment (P<0.05). After the emergency treatment, the BNP expression levels in the two groups decreased to different degrees (P<0.05). After a 7-day emergency treatment, the efficiency rate of treatment of the Research Group was higher than that of the Control Group (P<0.05). The method is helpful for the recovery of respiratory function, for relieving symptoms in short time, improving cardiac function and promising high safety, using metoprolol and irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide combined with non-invasive ventilator had satisfactory clinical efficacy in the emergency treatment of patients with severe heart failure and is thus worthy of clinical promotion.
