Primary Outcome Measures:
  • MMP levels [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]

Enrollment: 16
Study Start Date: January 2004
Study Completion Date: December 2005
Intervention Details:
    Drug: spironolactone + furosemide
    spironolactone 25mg/day, 16 weeks and furosemide 20mg/day, 16 weeks
Detailed Description:

Myocardial fibrosis is observed in failing hearts. MMPs are considered markers of fibrosis. Recently, circulating MMPs can be measured and are elevated in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). It has been reported that spironolactone improves myocardial fibrosis in CHF animal models. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of spironolactone on circulating MMP levels in patients with chronic heart failure.
