[Effect of isosorbide dinitrate (isoket) on central hemodynamics and myocardial contraction in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The authors studied the effect of isoket on the central hemodynamics and myocardial contractility as well as on the conditions of myocardial functioning in 38 patients aged 28-53 years and suffering from coronary heart disease. The infusion of 2 mg of isoket at a rate of 400 micrograms/min was followed by a decrease in the arterial pressure with the maximum drop seen on the seventh minute (by 26% from the baseline value), a reduction in the end-diastolic pressure by 50%, and a lengthening of the preejection period without any significant changes in either the cardiac output or the total peripheral resistance. Taken as a whole these changes justify the conclusion that the influence of dinitrate isosorbite (isoket) on the central hemodynamics is largely due to its venodilating action leading to a reduction of the pre-load which in turn improves myocardial functioning.

[State of the coronary bed and certain indicators of hemodynamics and myocardial contraction in auricular fibrillation].

Selective coronary angiography was performed and cardiac catheterization was employed to study the indices of the myocardial contractility and the state of central haemodynamics in 20 patients with ischaemic heart disease, 24 patients with myocarditic cardiosclerosis complicated by cardiac fibrillation, 6 patients with "idiopathic" atrial fibrillation, and 20 patients with extracardiac pathology (controls). The data obtained by the author indicate that selective coronary angiography helps significantly in the differential diagnosis between myocarditic cardiosclerosis and ischaemic cardiomyopathy.

[Effect of non-ionic roentgenocontrast preparation Omnipaque-350 on central hemodynamics and myocardial contraction].

The authors studied the effect of the non-ionic radiopaque substance Omnipaque-350 on the central hemodynamics and myocardial contractility. A comprehensive angiographic examination was conducted in 25 patients. Omnipaque-350, when administered intravascularly, was found to induce the same general reactions as ionic triiod-containing radiopaque. It did not exert direct myocardiodepressive effect; yet, upon intracoronary administration it caused uniform changes in myocardial contractility and elasticity which corresponded to transitory alterations in its perfusion. During left ventriculography, Omnipaque-350 as compared with Urografin-76, has less marked hypervolemic properties and a less significant impact on the central hemodynamics and the pump function of the heart.

[The effect of prolonged hypokinesia on hemodynamics and myocardial contraction in patients with ischemic heart disease after amputation of the extremities].

Echocardiographic investigation revealed changes in central hemodynamics and myocardial contractility, associated with lasting hypokinesia, in coronary patients after the amputation of a limb that differed significantly from those recorded in patients with intact limbs. Amputation of a limb, lasting hypokinesia, physical overstrain, negative emotions, disorders of myocardial electric and contractile functions, central and peripheral hemodynamic disorders all contribute to the risk of coronary disease, myocardial infarction and death in post-amputation patients.

Sensitive detection of myocardial contraction abnormality in chronic hemodialysis patients by ultrasonic tissue characterization with integrated backscatter.

Since acoustic properties of the myocardium are sensitive to the myocardial structure and the contractile conditions of myocyte, the authors evaluated cardiac dysfunction based on the integrated ultrasonic backscatter in 18 hemodialysis (HD) patients (duration: 102 +/- 84 months, mean age: 57.6 +/- 9.7 years) and 11 age-matched normals. The cyclic variation of integrated backscatter (CV-IB) at interventricular septum (IVS) and left ventricular posterior wall (PW) was measured and compared with percent fractional shortening (%FS) and percent wall thickening (%Th). The CV-IB of HD patients was smaller than that of control subjects (IVS: 6.2 +/- 1.1 dB vs 8.2 +/- 1.1 dB, p = 0.0003 and PW: 8.4 +/- 2.2 vs 10.3 +/- 1.3, p= 0.025). No significant difference was observed in %FS and %Th between HD patients and control subjects. In HD, the ratio of velocities of early diastolic inflow (E) to late atrial inflow was decreased (0.7 +/- 0.2 vs 1.1 +/- 0.7, p = 0.049) and deceleration time of E was prolonged significantly (200 +/- 28 msec vs 159 +/- 30 msec, p = 0.0082). In the absence of overt cardiac systolic dysfunction, myocardial damage indicated as a decrease in CV-IB and diastolic dysfunction identified on transmitral velocity waveform were detected, which may reflect from the myocardial fibrosis. As a mechanism, pressure overload, hyperparathyroidism, and anemia were neglected, and the other humoral factors may contribute to the myocardial damage in chronic renal failure.

[Effect of malate and NAD on local myocardial contraction during acute coronary occlusion].

In acute experiments on cats the effects of malate (100 mg/kg), NAD (0.2 mg/kg) and their combination on regional myocardial contractility were studied during acute coronary artery occlusion. All the drugs increased significantly myocardial contractility in border and intact zones. However, the response of the central ischemic zone to drug effects was insignificant.

[Effect of adaptation to periodic hypoxia on the resistance of the indicators of energy metabolism and myocardial contraction in acute anoxia and reoxygenation].

The effect of preliminary adaptation to intermittent (40 days, 4 hrs daily at 4000 m "altitude") on the resistance of myocardial energy metabolism and contractile function to acute anoxia and subsequent reoxygenation was studied. It was found that adaptation to hypoxia significantly accelerated the restoration of creatine phosphate, ATP and creatine phosphokinase activity in myocardium in reoxygenation following acute anoxia. On the whole, this effect reduces the competition of H+ with Ca2+ in myofibrils to improve the energy supply and to accelerate the restoration of myocardial contractile function in reoxygenation.

[Effect of emotional-pain stress on myocardial contraction in prolonged hypokinesia].

Prolonged restriction of rat mobility resulting in stoppage of the body and heart mass growth was accompanied by the increased contraction and relaxation velocity of isolated papillary muscles. Absolute values of the poststressor decrease in the main parameters of myocardial contractility in prolonged hypokinesia-exposed animals did not substantially differ from those in controls. The resultant functional significance of such a depression was less dangerous. The data suggest that the increased resistance of the animal body, particularly of the heart muscle to the damaging effect of acute stress in prolonged hypokinesia is an essentially stressful state.
