After a review of the pathogenesis of congestive decompensation in the light of recent discoveries, the basis for the use of vasodilator drugs in such pathologies is discussed. The results of personal clinical experiments using hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate are described with the conclusion that these drugs are really effective.
