Summary

Heart failure is recognized as one of the most common indications for hospitalization amongst adults aged \>65 years in United States with estimated Medicare cost to be 17 billion or more. Chronic heart failure is one of the most life threatening cardiovascular disorder thought to affect nearly six million US population with 600,000 new cases every year. The heart is responsible for perfusion to all vital organs including kidneys and dysfunction in either affects both the vital organs. When dysfunction of heart leads to dysfunction of kidneys or vice versa it is referred to as cardio renal syndrome (CRS). The underlying pathophysiology for CRS has been poorly understood and considered multifactorial. Worsening renal function defined as increase in serum creatinine of \>0.3mg/dl from baseline occurs in 20-30% of patients with ADHF and is associated with greater length of hospital stay, hospital readmission and death. A number of interventions have been used including giving diuretics which helps in decongestion and helps the heart pump blood more effectively. Sometimes these therapies are not effective and may even lead to worsening of renal function. In such cases , inotrope agents which increase the contractility of the heart have been used to help pump more blood to vital organs. There have been very few trials assessing the efficacy of these agents for improving kidney function .The investigators aim to assess the renal recovery with two such agents - dobutamine and milrinone in patients with cardiorenal syndrome who are coming with acute decompensated heart failure

Conditions

  • Cardiorenal Syndrome

Interventions

DRUG

Milrinone

Patients who meet the inclusion criteria for the study will receive milrinone and patients will be monitored for improvement of the renal function objectively with measures such as Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine , daily urine output and changes in weight

DRUG

Dobutamine

Patients who meet the inclusion criteria for the study will receive dobutamine and patients will be monitored for improvement of the renal function objectively with measures such as Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine , daily urine output and changes in weight
