The role of antagonists of receptor for aldosteron in the treatment of heart failure Artykuł przeglądowy
Main Article Content
Abstract
A role of aldosterone antagonists in therapy of heart failure is discussed in the article. Aldosterone antagonists are known more than 50 years. Their role in therapy of cardiovascular diseases are justified both by studies on renin-angiotensin system and by studies with those drugs. Currently aldosterone antagonists are used in therapy of hypertension and heart failure, however their use is unsufficient. The importance of aldosterone antagonists use in treatment of heart failure have been presented in RALES, EPHESUS and EMPHASIS-HR studies. According to results of studies aldosterone antagonists should be considered in patients with all stages of systolic heart failure, irrespectively of disease etiology. Drugs are recommended by many scientific societies.
