چکیده

PRECEDING INVESTIGATIONS have shown that administration of hydralazine (1-hydrazinophthalazine) is accompanied by an inerease in cardiac output,1-5 particularly if the decrease in blood pressure subsequent to its administration is not excessive,5 and by increased renal,6 hepatic,4 and coronary7 blood flow. Cerebral blood flow has been reported to be unchanged by hydralazine, even though cerebral vascular resistance decreased significantly after its administration.8 Material and Methods This study was performed on five hypertensive subjects (three Smithwick grade IV, one grade III, and one grade II), and one subject who had labile blood pressure but was not hypertensive at the time of the study. All subjects were fasting. The drug was administered intravenously as a single dose to all subjects except the one with labile blood pressure in whom a supplemental intravenous dose was given. The dose of hydralazine ranged from 0.2 mg./Kg. to 0.3 mg./Kg., and the average dose was 0.25 mg./Kg. The interval between administration of the drug and the second determination of cerebral blood flow varied from 32 to 42 minutes, with ani average of 37 minutes for five of the subjects. In the other subject, 0.24 mg./Kg. of hydralazine was given 52 minutes before the second study and 0.08 mg./Kg. 33 minutes before the second study because the change in blood pressure was not significant subsequent to the first dose.

Comparison of the effect of two drug combinations of Labetalol-hydralazine and labetalol-trinitroglycerin on hemodynamic factors and bleeding volume during dacryocystorhinostomy

Background: Control of bleeding during dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery is of particular importance and controlling the body's hemodynamic responses to stress effectively reduces the amount of bleeding during surgery and improves the surgical area. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of two-drug combinations Labetalol-Hydralazine and Labetalol-Trinitroglycerin on hem...

A paradoxical cerebral hemodynamic effect of hydralazine.

Hydralazine is shown to have a very complex cerebral hemodynamic effect. It raises the intracranial pressure which, together with its effect upon systemic blood pressure, reduces the cerebral perfusion pressure. In spite of this and a concomitantly induced hyperventilation by hydralazine, CBF increases with some delay. The conclusion is that hydralazine is a cerebral vasodilator acting immediat...

The effect of hydralazine on the development of tolerance to continuous nitroglycerin.

It has been reported that nitroglycerin (GTN) tolerance can be prevented by the concurrent administration of hydralazine. Although the mechanism of this effect remains unknown, it is possible that hydralazine modifies counter-regulatory responses to nitrate administration. To address this question, we examined the impact of hydralazine therapy on the development of tolerance during sustained th...

Hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate: comparative central and regional hemodynamic effects when administered alone or in combination.

Central and regional hemodynamic studies were performed before and after the oral administration of 75 mg of hydralazine and/or 20 mg of isosorbide dinitrate in 15 patients with low-output congestive heart failure. Hydralazine increased mean cardiac output 17-25%, mean renal blood flow 19%, and limb blood flow 17% (all p < 0.05). Mean hepatic blood flow did not change significantly with hydrala...

Cerebral hemodynamic in patients with major β-Thalassemia using transcranial Doppler sonography

Background: β-thalassemia, a severe form of anemia, is an inherited blood disorder characterized by growth retardation, splenomegaly, and bone abnormalities. Complications related to treatment-induced iron overload also affect the quality of life of patients with major β-thalassemia. Some recent studies indicated cerebral hemodynamic disorders and increased risk of stroke in these patients. The...
