clonidine and Cardiomegaly

clonidine has been researched along with Cardiomegaly in 19 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

Cardiomegaly: Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" It was found that in a part of patients the long-term administration of antihypertensive drugs led to an increased accumulation of kynurenine as a manifestation of pyridoxal-5-phosphate deficiency."5.28Increased blood kynurenine level as a factor inhibiting the therapeutic effect of antihypertensive agents in combined long-term treatment of essential hypertension. ( Liepinja, DJ; Rudzite, VK; Silava, AK; Vitols, AV, 1990)
" On this basis, functional and therapeutical regimen of regression of cardiac hypertrophy (prazosin, clonidine, nifedipine) are analyzed in concentric as well as in excentric hypertrophy in patients with arterial hypertension."3.67[Progression and regression of heart hypertrophy in arterial hypertension: pathophysiology and clinical aspects]. ( Strauer, BE, 1985)
" Clonidine (6 mg of base/l of water) was given as drinking fluid to normotensive rats or rats with established or early hypertension."3.66Effect of chronic clonidine treatment and its abrupt cessation on mean blood pressure of rats with a normal or an elevated blood pressure. ( Atkinson, J; Boillat, N; Kirchertz, EJ; Pera-Bally, R; Peters-Haefeli, L, 1979)
" Twenty-one patients with concentric LVH (thickness of interventricular septum, IVS, and left posterior wall, LPW, above 11 mm) were given a 2D and M-mode echocardiogram before (pre) and 12 and 24 weeks, respectively, after therapy was initiated (mean oral cl dosage 150 micrograms; nf, 30 mg/day)."2.66Effects of clonidine and nifedipine on left ventricular hypertrophy and muscle mass in hypertensive patients. ( Brückner, S; Kleine, P; Meissner, E; von Bruchhausen, V, 1987)
"Pretreatment with efaroxan (a selective I(1)-imidazoline receptor antagonist) or rauwolscine (a selective alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist) inhibited the moxonidine-induced increases in ANP secretion and interstitial ANP concentration and decrease in pulse pressure."1.32Augmentation of moxonidine-induced increase in ANP release by atrial hypertrophy. ( Cao, C; Kang, CW; Kim, SH; Kim, SZ, 2004)
" It was found that in a part of patients the long-term administration of antihypertensive drugs led to an increased accumulation of kynurenine as a manifestation of pyridoxal-5-phosphate deficiency."1.28Increased blood kynurenine level as a factor inhibiting the therapeutic effect of antihypertensive agents in combined long-term treatment of essential hypertension. ( Liepinja, DJ; Rudzite, VK; Silava, AK; Vitols, AV, 1990)
" Chronic administration of propranolol to SHR for three consecutive weeks by Alzet minipump reduced systolic arterial pressure but did not reverse the indices of myocardial hypertrophy."1.26Effect of chronic administration of clonidine and propranolol on the myocardium of spontaneously hypertensive rats. ( Greenberg, S; Wilborn, WM, 1982)
