Amyl Nitrite Induced Changes in Cardiac Shunts.
نویسنده
چکیده
Several recent publications have shown that changes in heart murmurs after the inhalation of amyl nitrite may be of diagnostic aid (Vogelpoel et al., 1959; Barlow and Shillingford, 1958). The effect of amyl nitrite on intracardiac heemodynamics and intracardiac heart sounds has been studied extensively by Vogelpoel et al. (1960, 1961) and Schrire et al. (1961). For the past four years amyl nitrite has been used in this laboratory as a diagnostic aid in the course of heart catheterization studies. Dye dilution curves obtained before and after amyl nitrite are of diagnostic value in certain situations and form the basis of this report.

coronary graphic changes typical of temporary coronary insufficiency. It is suggested that, in such cases, a slight increase of cardiac work (tachycardia) together with a decrease of blood supply (fall in blood pressure), leads to myocardial ischemia. Comparison between an exercise test and amyl nitrite inhalation in the same patients indicates similar results. Amyl nitrite inhalation may be us...

This group was compared with i5 patients who had angiographically proven coronary artery disease and positive treadmill tests but negative amyl nitrite tests: the group with positive amyl nitrite tests responded to drug inhalation with a significantly greater heart rate increase (47% vs. 34%, P< o.oI), and a significantly greater fall in systolic bloo...

To determine the effect of myocardial shortening velocity on the duration of electrical and mechanical systole, five healthy men, ages 32 to 41, were studied. Carotid message and atropine were used to define the effects of changes in heart rate without changes in shortening rate. The effects of amyl nitrite, which produced approximately the same degree of tachycardia as atropine but a significa...

Two patients with mild aortic insufficiency inhaled amyl nitrite during routine echocardiographic examinations. One developed sinus arrest and syncope and the other had pronounced sinus bradycardia. The mechanism of this paradoxical response is unclear. Caution should be exercised when amyl nitrite is administered for diagnostic purposes.
متن کاملEffects of amyl nitrite in aortic valvular and muscular subaortic stenosis.
INHALATION of amyl nitrite causes abrupt vasodilatation and increase in cardiac output and intensifies the murmur of aortic stenosis.1 The transaortic systolic pressure gradient increases because of the increased ejection rate through the stenotic orifice. In muscular subaortic stenosis this effect is particularly marked,2-6 not only because of the increased ejection rate but also because the d...
