Methods: This non-randomized, prospective, clinical trial included sixteen consecutive patients suffering from dyspnea for a mean of 76± 43 months, who presented with acute cardiac decompensation and were weaned from dobutamine therapy after an initial 72-h infusion. They were then placed on a regimen of oral amiodarone, 400 mg/day and weekly IDI, 10 μ g/kg/min, for 8 h. The long-term clinical outcomes and the effects of treatment on reverse LV remodeling(echocardiographic parameters) and hemodynamics were evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months of follow up. Results: A significant degree of reverse LV remodeling, hemodynamic improvements, and survivals >1.5 years were observed in 9 of the 16 patients(56% ). In addition, 5 patients(31% of entire cohort) were weaned from IDI after a mean of 61± 41 weeks, and 4 remained clinically stable for 116± 66 weeks thereafter. At 12 months of follow-up, LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volume indices had decreased from 231± 91 to 206± 80 ml/m2(P=0.002) and from 137± 65 to 110± 50 ml/m2(P=0.003), respectively, right atrial pressure from 16± 6 to 5.6± 4 mm Hg,(P=0.031), and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure from 29± 4 to 16± 5.4 mm Hg, P=0.000, while LV ejection fraction had increased from 22± 6% to 27.3± 8% (P=0.006). Conclusions: In end-stage CHF due to IDC, long-term treatment with IDI and oral amiodarone caused reverse LV remodeling, and allowed permanent and successful weaning from IDI in 1 / 4 of patients.展开更多
