5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In patients with chronic heart failure ACE-inhibitor treatment improves lung diffusion and prevents pulmonary edema after fluid overload. In the western country, 3 population types of ACE genotypes exist (DD, ID, II). It is unknown whether the ACE genotype influences the response to fluid overload in ACE-inhibitor treated chronic heart failure patients.
Detailed Description
Patients with chronic heart failure in stable clinical condition treated with ACE-inhibitors, but not aspirin, will be evaluated by means of maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test and lung function including lung diffusion measurements. These tests will be done before and after rapid 500 ml isotonic saline infusion. Patients will be grouped according to their ACE genotype.
