thalidomide and Left Ventricular Dysfunction

thalidomide has been researched along with Left Ventricular Dysfunction in 4 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Inflammation and matrix degradation may play a pathogenic role in chronic heart failure (CHF), and therefore, we examined whether thalidomide, a drug with potential immunomodulating and matrix-stabilizing properties, could improve left ventricular (LV) function in patients with CHF secondary to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) or coronary artery disease (CAD)."9.11Effect of thalidomide on cardiac remodeling in chronic heart failure: results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. ( Andreassen, A; Aukrust, P; Breivik, K; Fjeld, JG; Frøland, SS; Følling, M; Gullestad, L; Gundersen, T; Hodt, A; Holt, E; Kjekshus, E; Kjekshus, J; Semb, AG; Skårdal, R; Ueland, T; Wergeland, R; Yndestad, A, 2005)
