Even today, heart failure due to doxorubicin-induced dilated cardiomyopathy seems to have a poor prognosis, as it is often irreversible and relatively unresponsive to standard medical treatment. This paper describes the first case of a patient complaining of severe symptoms of congestive heart failure due to doxorubicin-induced dilated cardiomyopathy unresponsive to standard medical treatment (digoxin, diuretics, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor), who showed complete clinical recovery and significant improvement of left ventricular dysfunction after carvedilol treatment. It also illustrates the possibility that carvedilol may be a first-choice drug for the treatment of this disease.
即使在今天,阿霉素诱导的扩张型心肌病所致的心力衰竭似乎预后不良,因为它往往是不可逆的,并且对标准药物治疗反应相对较差。本文描述了首例因阿霉素诱导的扩张型心肌病导致严重充血性心力衰竭症状且对标准药物治疗(地高辛、利尿剂和血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂)无反应的患者,该患者在卡维地洛治疗后临床完全康复且左心室功能障碍显著改善。本文还阐述了卡维地洛可能是治疗该病的首选药物的可能性。
