چکیده

Hemodynamic care during postoperative management of myocardial revascularization should include vasorelaxing drugs to insure adequate graft and coronary flow, and stimulation of stroke volume to maintain vascular perfusion pressure. We tested the cardiac (inotropic and lusitropic) and vascular (relaxant) effects of diltiazem (0.1 nM to 0.1 mM), dobutamine (10 microM to 10 mM) and amrinone (10 microM to 1 mM) on isolated rat atria and thoracic aorta, and also on isolated human saphenous vein (HSV) and human mammary artery (HMA). Dobutamine produced a maximal positive inotropic effect (+dF/dt max = 29 +/- 7%) at its ED50 for aortic relaxation (88 +/- 7 microM). Conversely, at their ED50 for aortic relaxation diltiazem depressed myocardial contractility and amrinone did not exhibit myocardial effects. In HSV and HMA contracted with 80 mM potassium, diltiazem and dobutamine (but not amrinone) had a vasorelaxant activity similar to that in rat aorta. Norepinephrine-contracted human vessels were significantly more sensitive than potassium-contracted vessels to the relaxant effect of amrinone (ED50 HMA = 15 +/- 5 microM, ED50 HSV = 72 +/- 31 microM, P < 0.05). We conclude that at concentrations still devoid of myocardial effects dobutamine and amrinone are effective dilators in graft segment vessels and rat aorta contracted by membrane depolarization. If the difference between aortic and myocardial tissue still holds in human tissues, at the appropriate concentrations these drugs should be expected to improve cardiac performance while still contributing to the maintenance of graft patency.

The effects of dopamine, dobutamine and amrinone on mitochondrial function in cardiogenic shock.

The impairment of mitochondrial in non-infarcted myocardium under cardiogenic shock complicated by acute myocardial infarction was studied. We induced acute myocardial infarction in dogs by ligating the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery (LCX). On basis of left ventricular systolic pressure (LVPs) after 60 minutes, we divided the dogs into two groups: a group in which LVPs fell to be...

Effects of Inotropic Drugs on Mechanical Function and Oxygen Balance in Postischemic Canine Myocardium: Comparison of Dobutamine, Epinephrine, Amrinone, and Calcium Chloride

Brief ischemic episodes that induce myocardial and coronary endothelial dysfunction may alter the responses to inotropic drugs. To determine the effects of inotropic drugs in stunned myocardium, the coronary blood flow (CBF), myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2), and regional mechanical function in response to intracoronary dobutamine, epinephrine, amrinone, and calcium chloride (CaCl2) were me...

A multicenter, randomized, blind comparison of amrinone with milrinone after elective cardiac surgery.

UNLABELLED Amrinone and milrinone are phosphodiesterase inhibitors with positive inotropic effects useful for the treatment of ventricular dysfunction after cardiac surgery. Forty-four patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery at four centers received either amrinone (n = 22) or milrinone (n = 22) in a randomized, blind fashion. Immediately after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB),...

Dobutamine potentiates amrinone's beneficial effects in moderate but not in advanced heart failure. 31P-MRS in isolated hamster hearts.

There is controversy as to whether potent inotropic agents are beneficial or detrimental in moderate to severe heart failure. Accordingly, we studied the effects of amrinone, amrinone plus dobutamine, and dobutamine alone on mechanical performance, myocardial oxygen consumption, and high energy phosphate metabolism in different stages of congestive heart failure in the cardiomyopathic Syrian ha...
