Hemodynamic Effects of Aminophylline in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

چکیده
Ten patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without complicating cor pulmonale were studied by right and left heart catheterization. Hemodvnamic and respiratory observations were made during a control period and during the infusion of 1 g of aminophylline. Aminophylline produced a significant reduction in mean pulmonary artery pressure from 19.7 mm Hg to 14.8 mm Hg, right ventricular end-diastolic

Hemodynamic effects of aminophylline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Ten patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without complicating cor pulmonale were studied by right and left heart catheterization.

متن کاملHemodynamic effects of aminophylline in cor pulmonale.
AMINOPHYLLINE (theophylline ethylenediamine) has been used traditionally in the treatment of bronchospasm associated with asthma, obstructive bronchitis, and emphysema, and its effect on reducing airway obstruction has been clearly shown.' The hemodynamic effects of this agent, however, have not been fully explored. Aminophylline has been shown to reduce the pulmonary artery pressure in patient...
متن کاملDose dependency of aminophylline effects on hemodynamic and ventricular function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The effects of aminophylline on pulmonary vascular tone, systemic hemodynamics, and ventricular ejection fractions reported in the literature show some discrepancies. We therefore studied in COPD patients the effects of aminophylline on hemodynamics, on ventricular ejection fractions, and on systolic and diastolic functions of each ventricle, and we measured simultaneously the blood level of th...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF THE ACUTE BRONCHO DILATING EFFECTS OF INHALED IPRATROPIUM BROMIDE AND SALBUTAMOL IN PATIENTS WI TH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISE ASE
Forty-five patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were studied to compare the acute effects of ipratropium bromide (60 µg), salbutamol (300 µg) and placebo (3 puffs) on the forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV 1) and forced vital capacity (PVC). Ipratropium bromide produced a significantly greater improvement than salbutamol in both FEV1 and FVC at 15,60 and 180 minutes afte...
متن کاملStatins and Pulmonary Hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a chronic multisystem disease with a considerable burden. One of its most common complications is pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). It has been demonstrated that the development of PAH is correlated with decreased quality of life and survival. Different medications have been proposed for the treatment of PAH, among which one can name statins. Howeve...
