Abstract
ARREDONDO BRUCE, Alfredo and AMORES CARRATE, Jacqueline. New horizons in the treatment of the cardiac failure. AMC [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.6. ISSN 1025-0255.
Several clinical investigations generate new knowledges about the medicinal treatment of cardiac insufficiency. Heart Failure Society of America and the American College of Cardiologists- American Heart Association created the guides of the 2005 and the 2006 respectively. Recently have checked several investigations on the basis of current evidence and summarized the changes proposed by these institutions, based on these studies the new guides include more ample and strong recommendations like the beta-blockers therapy and recommendations for the use of the angiotensin II receptor blocker. Aldosterona's antagonists spironolactone and eplerenone, are also include. The pharmacists must have a basic level of knowledge on the new guides of cardiac insufficiency to develop new strategies in the heart failure treatment.
