The Baptist Hospital of Miami (Baptist Health Systems of South Florida) newsletter reported recently that Clenbuterol, a asthma medication, might help heart failure patients maintain strength.
Body builders sometimes turn, illicitly, to the asthma medication clenbuterol to build up their muscles. Now, researchers say the medication might also help heart failure patients stay strong without the need for a heart transplant.
The first U.S. study of the medication found it was safe in a small number of study participants with heart failure.
