Using a mathematical model of cardiovascular mechanics, various complicated responses to vasodilator therapy for heart failure have been well accounted for through common logic: (i) the differential effects of various vasodilators on cardiac output; (ii) the opposite response of cardiac output to sodium nitroprusside in a normal state and heart failure state; (iii) the different responses of cardiac index, arterial pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure to hydralazine in different types of heart failure. The response to combined vasodilator-inotropic agent therapy was simulated well by the model. The optimal therapeutic regimen was then formulated to simultaneously control the cardiac output, systemic and pulmonary arterial and venous pressures, and the degree of coronary ischaemia by multiple drug delivery, and the problem was solved using the model. We conclude that the model provides a useful basis for obtaining a guidance for more appropriate therapeutic regimen in heart failure.
