title: [The effect of a combination of ridazolol and molsidomine on hemodynamics and left ventricular function in dilated cardiomyopathy].
abstract: Haemodynamics and Left Ventricular Function in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy after a Combination of Ridazolol and Molsidomine. To evaluate the haemodynamic properties of the new beta-blocker ridazolol alone and in combination with the vasodilator molsidomine a randomized study was carried out in 12 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (NYHA II/III). beta-Blockade leads to a decreasing tendency in blood pressure and heart rate. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PC) was not significantly altered and ejection fraction remained unchanged. Molsidomine showed a decrease of PC. The combination of both drugs revealed both the positive haemodynamic effects of molsidomine and the reduced heart rate of beta-blockade. Negative side effects could not be observed.
