Race is not a scientific category, but African Americans have increased prevalence and severity of heart failure. The African American Heart Failure trial showed the benefit of a combination of isosorbide dinitrate (a nitric oxide donor) and hydralazine (an antioxidant). Future research may unmask the reason for cardiovascular differences in therapy.
种族并非一个科学范畴,但非裔美国人心力衰竭的患病率和严重程度有所增加。非裔美国人心力衰竭试验表明了硝酸异山梨酯(一种一氧化氮供体)和肼屈嗪(一种抗氧化剂)联合使用的益处。未来的研究可能会揭示心血管治疗差异的原因。
