In an investigation in 1967 of about 100 male twin pairs collected from the Swedish Twin Register, discordance with respect to the presence of CHD was found in 37 pairs of which 19 were MZ. The investigation included physical examination, cholesterol measurements, and an interview regarding, among
Half a century after the elucidation of its molecular structure, aldosterone is generating the greatest interest, not in the fields of endocrinology or renal medicine but in cardiology-where aldosterone over-activation is now perceived as detrimental in heart failure (HF) and ischaemic heart
The role of aldosterone-antagonists in the treatment of congestive heart failure. Despite the advances of the treatment of congestive heart failure, nearly half of the patients diagnosed with this disease five years ago are alive today. Experimental and human studies have demonstrated, that under
Eplerenone is a new aldosterone-receptor blocker that differs from spironolactone by virtue of higher selectivity for the aldosterone receptor. Therefore, eplerenone treatment is associated with comparative and absolute low incidences of gynecomastia, mastodynia, and abnormal vaginal bleeding.
