title: [The cardioprotective action of nifedipine during short-term transient ischemia].
abstract: To determine the therapeutic activity on regional myocardial function of nifedipine intravenous administration (0.16 mg/kg) during short term myocardial induced ischemia, we used 6 mongrel dogs anesthetized and intubated those who we have implanted 3 pairs of ultrasonic crystals in the subendocardial layer. Utilizing an open chest canine model we performed total 1 minute and partial 2 minutes 30 seconds alternative obstructions, controlled with electromagnetic flowmeters in the anterior descending (AD) and circumflex (Cx) coronary arteries before and after drug administration. During the 70-80% obstructions we have shown a significant improvement in segment shortening, reduced by ischemia, in the ischemic and peri-ischemic zone. The ischemic markers, per cent increment of end diastolic length (% IEDL) and per cent increment of end systolic length (% IESL), have shown significant improvement during partial obstructions in the ischemic and peri-ischemic zone. After total obstructions the improvement on regional myocardial function is less marked and limited to ischemic zone.
