accupril medsafe

I have been on coreg and accupril for going on 5 months now, and was hoping that my heart would have begun to reshape itself somewhat by now. My particular concern, among many, is the abnormal arrythmias which I believe this LV enlargement is causing. Shouldn't there be some improvement by now? Any insight would be appreciated.

I had been getting headaches off and on 2-3 days before everything, and put it off as being my sinuses due to being in the heat. I was put back on Accupril 10mg for the blood pressure, and a month later my bp was stable 120/80 or less, althought my heart rate stayed high usually around 120 even when resting.

Subtracting diastole number from systole number is medically referred to as pulse pressure. Normal is 20 and a pulse pressure greater than 60 seems to indicate CAD. Pulse pressure: "The up and down fluctuation of the arterial pressure results from the pulsatile nature of the cardiac output, i.e. the heartbeat. The pulse pressure is determined by the interaction of the stroke volume of the heart, compliance (ability to expand) of the aorta, and the resistance to flow in the arterial tree.

” The application for approval of a clinical trial was submitted to the New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority (MEDSAFE) for review by the Standing Committee on Therapeutic Trials (SCOTT). Arrowhead also intends to seek regulatory clearance to conduct ARC521-1001 in additional countries. About ARC-521 Arrowhead’s ARC-521 is being investigated for its potential to produce functional cures in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

I am an RN and my boyfriend has been type I diabetic for 28 years,having had better control for the las 5 years with an insulin pump. His BP is controlled, He's been on Accupril 40mg daily for approx 7 yrs. Hgb A1-c is 7.4. His kidney function test have been ok except for his latest BUN/CREAT ratio result of 29(the lab using 6-25 for norm). Should we be worrying, contacting a renal specialist and is there anything else other than tighter BS control and sodium intake that we can do?

Coreg 25 x2, and accupril (ace inhibitor). Latest echo shows no improvement of ejection fraction. Still 24 % after 8 months on meds. Anyone have any opinion as to chances of any improvement from meds at this point? LV has reduced moderately from 6.94. I believe my heart suffered damage from serious auto accident (BFT). I was hoping for signs of an improvement.

Dr that did heart cath wanted me to start Linsopril ace inhibitor but several years ago I tried accupril and had partial swellin on my face so I was afraid to try another ace inhibitor but now I wonder if I should have. The cardiologist I first saw put me on Atenolol, Isosorbide and nitroquick. I was using between 4 and up to 10 nitros a day with these other meds so he added Ranexa. I worry because I have family history of cancer and I have a fatty liver.

I am told I need one ASAP, but still unsure if it is for hypokinesis or the fact that I have arrhythmias ( MANY PVCs, Vtach, and SVTs). Reason I ask is if my meds (coreg,accupril,spirinolactone,simvatatin) raise my EF (down around 15-20% presently), is it possible that there may be no need for ICD in say, 3-5 yrs? Well, that's again. Truly admire your insightfulness and helping others. And CONGRADS on your success ! Glad to hear ..

5 or 6 years ago it was caught on a EKG. I was put on Toprol XL ( I am also on Accupril for high blood pressure, Diltiazem for esophogeal spasms, Lipitor for high cholesterol, Metformin for Diabetes). The irregular rhythm has become increasingly common and causes dizziness, numbness in the limbs, neck, shoulder and face, chest pain that radiates to the neck and jawline and continuous head rushes.

angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik);angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as candesartan (Atacand), eprosartan (Teveten), irbesartan (Avapro), losartan (Cozaar), olmesartan (Benicar), telmisartan (Micardis), and valsartan (Diovan); antacids such as

Hi. I had an extremely strange experience yesterday during a cardiac dr visit. Anyone familar with my condition, I apologize in advance for it's repetitiveness, but feel a full explanation needed for complete understanding. I was made aware of my heart condition back in Dec when I went to ER with a bad gall bladder. The blood tests showed my BNP to be 1072 (extreme heart failure range) and my EKG was terrible.

The angioedema to lips is concerning. Do take ACE-inhibitor such as lisinopril or accupril? Do you have a dry cough with this? Could be a reaction to ACE-inhibitors.

on that lately because I take so many meds now (accupril and HCTZ for blood pressure, celebrex for osteoarthritis in addition to the Synthroid. Glad I found this forum! Good to know I am not going crazy by myself!

I too am swelling in the Barcelona heat. I've had diabetes for over 20 years now. Got on a pump 3 years ago. Find that the swelling coincided with academia. When I spend more than 2 hours sitting (legs UN crossed) I tend to swell. I am also questioning liquid intake. My aunt just had pancreatitis and retained 40 lbs of liquid they had pumped into her intravenously. I have been told that drinking lots of water is good for the body, yet find when I do, I swell. Hmmm.

m on, which has been between 1 and 5 different HTN meds during this time- Currently on 4 different B/P meds (Accupril, Norvasc , HCTZ, and Metoprolol (Lopressor)... Current B/P range= 150-180 syst over 76-96. (Doctors well aware) Pulse on beta blockers 60-80's (currently closer to 90)- Pulse prior to beta-blockers- high 80's to 120. OTHER TESTS- Summary, since I'm really too tired right now to complete post..

Yes, when I was released from hospital I was given follow-up with new cardiologist and have ABSOLUTELY no plans of going back to my old one. My med regimen is; Coreg (Beta-blocker. Disheartened by eventual side affects), accupril (ace inhibitor), spironolactone (diuretic), and simvastin ( for cholesterol- even though mine has always been fine in the 170 range). I am told I need the ICD imediately, so... ( evidently with all I have gong on, at risk of V-fib).

I had a echo and ekg done, both came back abnormal, they said my ejection fraction is 35% (the overall heart muscle is weak) they started me on accupril, but since I already have low blood pressure, I cannot tolerate the medicine. The cardiologist suspects thoracic outlet syndrome, I was treated for it in Nov 2007, had surgery, the doctor tried releasing it through the shoulder when he repaired the bicep, but the symptoms presist.
