doxazosin and Cardiomegaly

doxazosin has been researched along with Cardiomegaly in 9 studies

Doxazosin: A prazosin-related compound that is a selective alpha-1-adrenergic blocker.
doxazosin : A member of the class of quinazolines that is quinazoline substituted by an amino group at position 4, methoxy groups at positions 6 and 7 and a piperazin-1-yl group at position 2 which in turn is substituted by a 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-ylcarbonyl group at position 4. An antihypertensive agent, it is used in the treatment of high blood pressure.

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.

" Therefore, after 4 weeks of washout with placebo (phase 1), doxazosin (dosage range from 1 to 16 mg, plus hydrochlorothiazide when necessary) was given to 11 essential hypertensive patients (6 M, 5 F, age range 34-63 years) for 8 weeks (phase 2) in order to achieve diastolic blood pressure values less than 90 mmHg; this dosage was then maintained for a further 20 weeks up to the end of the study (phase 3)."1.28Reduction of left ventricular hypertrophy after longterm antihypertensive treatment with doxazosin.
