title: [Treatment of dopamine-dependent shock with triiodothyronine: prelimary results (author's transl)].
abstract: Triiodothyronine (T3) was administered to 11 patients in septic shock. In all there occurred an increase in arterial blood pressure within 24 hours, the rise in systolic pressure being 34 +/- 4.2 mm Hg, of diastolic 14 +/- 8.2 mm Hg, corresponding to a rise in mean arterial pressure of 25 +/- 6.1 mm Hg. Haemodynamic studies in four patients suggest that the action of T3 is mediated via beta-sympathomimetic channels.
