phentermine and Heart Valve Diseases

phentermine has been researched along with Heart Valve Diseases in 91 studies

Phentermine: A central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic with actions and uses similar to those of DEXTROAMPHETAMINE. It has been used most frequently in the treatment of obesity.

Heart Valve Diseases: Pathological conditions involving any of the various HEART VALVES and the associated structures (PAPILLARY MUSCLES and CHORDAE TENDINEAE).

( Blackburn, GL; Burger, AJ; Charlamb, MJ; Notarianni, M; Sherman, HB; Singh, S, 2001)

( Roth, BL; Setola, V, 2005)
