Description
Summary:The article is devoted to issues of clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic cardiac failure and normal ejection fraction (CCF-NEF). Original clinical trials of felodipin efficacy designed to be maximally close to every-day clinical practice in Russia included hypertensive patients with CCF-NEF. The results of these trials bring about the conclusion that felodipin not only maintain blood pressure at the target level but also improves diastolic function of the myocardium.
