Dichloroacetate in combination with cardioprotective or hemodynamic drugs

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods for using cardioprotective or hemodynamic drugs in combination with dichloroacetate enabling usage of cardioprotective or hemodynamic drugs at concentrations higher than used in normal clinical practice without increasing deleterious side effects normally associated with the cardioprotective or hemodynamic drug, thereby conferring added clinical benefit. The present invention teaches administration of DCA with cardioprotective or hemodynamic drugs as an adjunct therapy thereby conferring added clinical benefit to clinically recommended protocols.
