Effects of fendilin hydrochloride (sensit) on systemic and coronary hemodynamics and on retrograde coronary blood flow in dogs.

Fendilin hydrochloride was tested in 9 normal anesthetized dogs and in 7 anesthetized dogs with acute coronary artery occlusion. The compound (1 mg/kg i.v.) caused a slight short lasting increase in coronary blood flow together with an increase in cardiac metabolic rate for oxygen of similar magnitude. There was no measurable effect on collateral conductance. No noteworthy effects on systemic hemodynamics were observed.

Retrograde coronary blood flow after mannitol in intact anesthetized dogs.

In control dogs mannitol produced a moderate increase in coronary blood flow, a decrease in coronary vascular resistance, and a moderate increase in cardiac output. In dogs with coronary occlusion mannitol increased retrograde coronary blood flow (+25%) and collateral conductance suggesting increased blood availability to ischemic myocardium.

Systemic and coronary hemodynamic effects of Abbott (40557) and its interaction with aminophylline.

Adenosine is a naturally occurring substance with potent coronary vasodilator action. However, its action is of short duration due to its rapid inactivation in blood and other tissues (1). If used for therapeutic purposes a prolonged duration of action might be desirable. A recent adenosine derivative (Abbott 40557) ethyl-adenosine-5'-carboxylate hydrochloride1) has marked and prolonged coronary vasodilator activity (2,3). The present report concerns the coronary and systemic hemodynamic and metabolic effects of A 40557 and attempts to determine whether, like adenosine, its action is enhanced by dipyridamole (4,5), hexobendine (6), and Cassella 7657 (7) or inhibited by aminophylline (8,9).

Computerized fluoroscopy techniques for intravenous study of cardiac chamber dynamics.

A computerized fluoroscopy system which was recently developed in our laboratories permits image contrast increases of 8-16 relative to conventional image intensifer fluoroscopy and permits study of canine and human ventricular wall motion using peripheral intravenous injections. Two time-dependent image subtraction algorithms are illustrated in connection with observation of artificially infarcted dog hearts. The first algorithm produces a display analogous to direct ventriculography using catheterization. The second displays regions of dyskinetic motion as anomalous image grey shades.
