Suitability of urethane anesthesia for physiopharmacological investigations in various systems. Part 2: Cardiovascular system.

Urethane produces a level of surgical anesthesia characterized by preservation of a number of cardiovascular reflexes. When the proper route of administration is used, and the use of unnecessarily high doses is avoided, urethane anesthesia appears to be suitable for a number of investigations at cardiovascular level. However in certain types of studies involving pharmacological stimulation of peripheral adrenoceptors urethane affects markedly the magnitude of the response under study.

Pregnancy and the cardiovascular system.

The cardiovascular system undergoes important adaptations during pregnancy to accommodate for fetal requirements. This causes a hemodynamic burden on patients with underlying heart disease, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Moreover, certain cardiovascular diseases may be due to pregnancy. Although unusual, these diseases can pose a threat to the pregnant woman and her fetus. This review will discuss cardiovascular adaptations to pregnancy as well as the risk of pregnancy in patients with underlying heart disease. It will also provide a brief overview of cardiovascular disorders associated with pregnancy.

[Endocrine function of the cardiovascular system].

The cardiovascular system has in addition to it haemodynamic role also an important endocrine function. It produces a number of humoral substances which are either released into the circulation and exert a systemic endocrine effect (e.g. the atrial natriuretic factor from the atria) or act at the site of their genesis. This autocrine or paracrine action is typical above all for substances formed in the endothelium and vascular wall (endothelin, endothelium-derived relaxation factor, prostaglandins, prostacyclines, renin-angiotensin cascade etc.). Cardiovascular substances influence by their action markedly the general and organ haemodynamics, the volume and pressure homeostasis the development and regression, of cardiac hypertrophy and vascular walls, as well as thrombogenesis and atherogenesis. They participate thus in a significant way in physiological regulations and pathological processes in the organism.

Hormone therapy and the cardiovascular system.

The cardiovascular effects of female sex steroids have many faces and are very complex. To make this situation even more complicated different disease situations, different target organs and different therapeutic regimens may exhibit different effects of estrogens and progestines. Furthermore, the interpretation of population studies may be problematic by itself, in view of so many confounders and biases involved and methodological flaws that sometimes are discovered only post-hoc. It seems, therefore, that in such a complicated situation making definite conclusions and guidelines is almost an impossible task. My suggestion to clinicians is to try and follow the main stream of clinical data, looking at the general picture rather than the small details, and try to individualize therapy in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the adverse reactions and risks. This article discusses the current knowledge on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the cardiovascular system. It is not an overview, because my intention was not to pump in as much data as possible. Rather, the article presents current ideas and trends in this field to be used by people who practice menopause medicine for their own clinical decisions.

[Activity of the principal alkaloids of Polyalthia oliveri Engler (Annonaceac) on the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system].

Polyalthia oliveri leaf alkaloid, oliveroline, shows in Mice antiparkinsonian properties which decrease or disappear with the alkaloïds extracted from the bark of the trunk, oliveridine and oliverine. The latter alkaloid has an antihypertensive effect which is not found in oliveridine, only hypotensive by a relaxant close to papaverine action on vascular smooth muscles.
