The invention provides methods for (a) prolonging time to hospitalization for heart failure; (b) prolonging time to first hospitalization for heart failure; (c) reducing the total number of days a patient with heart failure spends in the hospital for heart failure for a single hospital stay (i.e., reducing the duration of a single hospital stay for a patient with heart failure); (d) reducing the total number of days a patient spends in the hospital for heart failure for multiple hospital stays (i.e., two or more hospital stays); (e) reducing the number of hospital admissions for heart failure; (f) reducing mortality and reducing hospitalizations for heart failure (e.g., the total number of days in the hospital and/or the number of hospital visits); (g) increasing the left ventricular ejection fraction in a heart failure patient; (h) treating a sexual dysfunction (e.g., erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction) (j) treating a headache in a heart failure patient by administering a non-steroidal antiinflammatory compound (i.e., NSAIDs); (k) treating a heart failure patient who has a history of hypertension (but who is not currently diagnosed with hypertension); (l) improving the quality of life in a heart failure patient based on the Minnesota Living with heart failure questionnaire; (m) decreasing the levels of B-type natriuretic peptide; (n) treating hypertension in a heart failure patient; (o) lowering blood pressure in a heart failure patient; (p) treating labile hypertension; (q) treating idiopathic hypertension; (r) increasing patient compliance with medication dosing in a heart failure patient; (s) treating hypertension in a patient with a dilated heart; (t) treating ischemic disease and/or coronary artery disease; and (u) reducing cardiomegaly in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of (i) a hydralazine compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, (ii) isosorbide dinitrate and/or isosorbide mononitrate, and (iii) optionally at least one compound selected from the group consisting of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, β-adrenergic antagonists, angiotensin II antagonists, aldosterone antagonists, cardiac glucosides (digitalis), and diuretic compounds.
本发明提供了以下方法:(a) 延长心力衰竭住院时间;(b) 延长心力衰竭首次住院时间;(c) 减少心力衰竭患者因心力衰竭单次住院的总天数(即减少心力衰竭患者单次住院时间);(d) 减少心力衰竭患者因心力衰竭多次住院(即两次或多次住院)的总天数;(e) 减少心力衰竭入院次数;(f) 降低心力衰竭死亡率和减少心力衰竭住院次数(例如,减少心力衰竭住院次数)、(e) 减少因心力衰竭而入院的次数; (f) 降低死亡率,减少因心力衰竭而住院的次数(例如,因心力衰竭而住院的总天数); (g) 减少因心力衰竭而住院的总天数; (h) 减少因心力衰竭而住院的总天数、(g) 增加心力衰竭患者的左心室射血分数; (h) 治疗性功能障碍(如勃起功能障碍和女性性功能障碍); (i) 通过使用非甾体抗炎药物(即非甾体抗炎药)治疗心力衰竭患者的头痛; (j) 通过使用非甾体抗炎药物(即非甾体抗炎药)治疗心力衰竭患者的头痛; (k) 通过使用非甾体抗炎药物(即非甾体抗炎药)治疗心力衰竭患者的头痛; (l) 通过使用非甾体抗炎药物(即非甾体抗炎药)治疗心力衰竭患者的头痛、(k) 治疗有高血压病史(但目前未确诊为高血压)的心力衰竭患者; (l) 根据明尼苏达心力衰竭生活调查问卷,改善心力衰竭患者的生活质量; (m) 降低 B 型钠尿肽的水平;(n) 治疗心力衰竭患者的高血压; (o) 降低心力衰竭患者的血压; (p) 治疗易感性高血压; (q) 治疗特发性高血压; (r) 提高心力衰竭患者对药物剂量的依从性; (s) 治疗心脏扩张患者的高血压;(t) 治疗缺血性疾病和/或冠状动脉疾病;(u) 减轻有需要的患者的心脏肥大,包括向患者施用治疗有效量的 (i) 水拉嗪化合物或其药学上可接受的盐;(ii) 二硝酸异山梨酯和/或单硝酸异山梨酯、和 (iii) 可选的至少一种选自血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂、β-肾上腺素能拮抗剂、血管紧张素 II 拮抗剂、醛固酮拮抗剂、强心甙(洋地黄)和利尿化合物组成的组的化合物。
