Abstract:Objective To explore the efficacy of ivabradine combined with continuous bedside blood purification in treating patients with uremia complicated by acute left heart failure.Methods A total of 102 patients with uremia combined by acute left heart failure admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Wuhan Third Hospital from May 2018 to January 2023 were selected. They were divided into the observation group and the control group with the random number table method, with 51 cases in each group. The control group received continuous bedside blood purification, and the observation group was additionally treated with oral ivabradine. The therapeutic effect, blood biochemical indicators [blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+)], cardiac function indicators [left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)], cardiac markers [N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT)] and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The overall effective rate of the observation group (94.12%) was higher than that of the control group (80.39%) (P < 0.05). The differences of levels of BUN, Cr, K+, and Na+, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, LVEDD, LVESD, LVEF, and levels of NT-proBNP and cTnT before and after treatment in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group (3.92%) was lower than that in the control group (15.69%) (P < 0.05).Conclusions Ivabradine combined with continuous bedside blood purification can effectively relieve the symptoms of patients with uremia complicated by acute left heart failure, and improve cardiac function and levels of cardiac markers with a good safety profile.
