Acute electrophysiologic effects of inhaled salbutamol in humans.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Although inhaled beta2-agonists are in widespread use, several reports question their potential arrhythmogenic effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cardiac electrophysiologic effects of a single, regular dose of an inhaled beta2-agonist in humans. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Six patients with bronchial asthma and ...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent electrophysiologic effects of amiodarone in humans.
BACKGROUND In general, antiarrhythmic agents that prolong the action potential duration (APD) have attenuated effects on repolarization at short cycle lengths (reverse frequency dependence), and this may limit their efficacy for controlling ventricular arrhythmias. The frequency-dependent effects of amiodarone on repolarization may differ from those of other antiarrhythmic agents and have not b...
متن کاملEffects of hypertension on cardiovascular responses to epinephrine in humans.
Cardiac beta-receptor responsiveness is diminished by both aging and hypertension. However, concomitant decreases in the activity of counterregulatory mechanisms, such as the arterial baroreflex and neuronal catecholamine uptake, influence the ultimate cardiac responses to adrenergic agents in vivo. In the present study, we evaluated by echocardiography cardiac responses to intravenous infusion...
متن کاملEpinephrine-induced reversal of verapamil's electrophysiologic and therapeutic effects in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
The purpose of our study was to determine whether an infusion of epinephrine reverses the electrophysiologic effects of verapamil and whether reversal of verapamil's effects on the induction of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) by epinephrine during electropharmacologic testing is predictive of stress-related recurrences of PSVT during long-term treatment with verapamil. The infusi...
متن کاملEpinephrine facilitates neurogenic vasoconstriction in humans.
Numerous studies have suggested that epinephrine may facilitate neural release of NE. There have been no studies in humans that demonstrate the functional significance of this action. To determine whether epinephrine facilitates neurogenic vasoconstriction in humans, we contrasted forearm vasoconstrictor responses to a reflex stimulus (lower body negative pressure [LBNP]) and to intraarterial N...
