Abstract: The effects ofCrataegutt forte three times daily an hemodynamics were investigated by radionuclide angio- cardiography in 20 patients with mild congestive heart failure an d left ventricular ejection fraction < 5500- Crataegutt forte resulted in a significant increase of ejection fraction at rest from 40.18% to 43.5% and an increase of ejection frac-tion during exercise from 41.51% to 46.56%. Blood pressure decreased significantly from 136.5/87.5 mmHg to 134/83.5 mmHg at rest and from 188.42/98.16 mmHg to 176.84/95.53 mmHg under stress testing. There was no significant change of heart rate but a significant increase of stress tolerance from 703.75 Watt x minute to 772.11 Watt x minute could be documented. Crataegutt forte improves ventricular function and performance in patients with mild congestive heart failure.
