spironolactone and Arteriosclerosis, Coronary

spironolactone has been researched along with Arteriosclerosis, Coronary in 11 studies

Spironolactone: A potassium sparing diuretic that acts by antagonism of aldosterone in the distal renal tubules. It is used mainly in the treatment of refractory edema in patients with congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic cirrhosis. Its effects on the endocrine system are utilized in the treatments of hirsutism and acne but they can lead to adverse effects. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p827)
spironolactone : A steroid lactone that is 17alpha-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone substituted by an oxo group at position 3 and an alpha-acetylsulfanyl group at position 7.

Epicardial Coronary Artery Endothelial Function (Adjusted) at Week 16 Comparing the Eplerenone Group to the Placebo Group

The primary measure was the relative change in coronary diameter to acetylcholinem (ACH) at 16 weeks adjusted for baseline reactivity to acetylcholine. Change in coronary artery diameter after ACH was measured in mm at baseline and 16 weeks. Percent change at 16 weeks - percent change at baseline was the outcome. (NCT00187889)
