phentolamine and Cardiomegaly

phentolamine has been researched along with Cardiomegaly in 15 studies

Phentolamine: A nonselective alpha-adrenergic antagonist. It is used in the treatment of hypertension and hypertensive emergencies, pheochromocytoma, vasospasm of RAYNAUD DISEASE and frostbite, clonidine withdrawal syndrome, impotence, and peripheral vascular disease.
phentolamine : A substituted aniline that is 3-aminophenol in which the hydrogens of the amino group are replaced by 4-methylphenyl and 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ylmethyl groups respectively. An alpha-adrenergic antagonist, it is used for the treatment of hypertension.

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
"Cocaine increases adult cardiomyocyte protein content by protein kinase Calpha-dependent mechanisms, and this process can contribute to the cardiac hypertrophy and cardiomyopathy that results from chronic cocaine use."7.72Cocaine produces cardiac hypertrophy by protein kinase C dependent mechanisms. ( Henning, RJ; Li, Y, 2003)
"Two types of vasodilators are used for treatment of acute myocardial infarction: Nitrates on the one hand with predominant venodilation and agents like Phentolamie and Nitroprusside on the other hand with venodilation as well as arteriolar vasodilation."4.76[Hemodynamic guidelines in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction by means of vasodilators]. ( Zilcher, H, 1979)
"Cocaine increases adult cardiomyocyte protein content by protein kinase Calpha-dependent mechanisms, and this process can contribute to the cardiac hypertrophy and cardiomyopathy that results from chronic cocaine use."3.72Cocaine produces cardiac hypertrophy by protein kinase C dependent mechanisms. ( Henning, RJ; Li, Y, 2003)
"Development of cardiac hypertrophy and increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were dependent upon prolonged periods of thyroid-treatment lasting from 3 days to 4 weeks, whereas the maximal increase (about 55%) in heart rate was seen after the first week of thyroid-treatment."1.27Changes in cardiac myofibrillar ATPase activity during development of hyperthyroidism in the rabbit.
