accupril news

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.

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.

Great news! Good luck!

Mamma always quoted, "if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all". I've been sooo frustrated and snively that I thought it best that I just stay in my room and absorb my brain with TV peoples problems. TV people don't know that I'm aware of their pain and suffering, nor rejoicing in their happiness. BTW, How 'bout that Chris Phelps?? 8 for 8. If anyone feels strong enough to hear my saga, I'll post it in my journal.

The bad news is that I'm no longer in Italy. The good news is that my insurance company has paid, yes already paid, for my RItuxan treatment! All that's left to do is schedule it!

I know I haven't posted in a little while, but I have good news/bad news. The bad news is that I will either have to go cold turkey from the norcos or taper off, BECAUSE the good news is that not only is the brace working (still haven't figured out how to keep it in place completely) but also, I might be getting another job 3 times a week dealing cards and have the other job one day a week. I have to see the doctor on the 9th. Today was a very very bad day though. I have 7.
