title: [Effect of the calcium antagonist nisoldipine on coronary circulation and myocardial ischemia in temporary coronary occlusion].
abstract: Sixteen patients undergoing PTCA of a significant lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery received either 0.3 mg nisoldipine or placebo intravenously. Immediately before and during balloon inflation the following parameters were measured: aortic pressure, post-stenotic pressure, coronary occlusion pressure, diastolic pulmonary artery pressure, coronary sinus flow (thermodilution), and intracoronary ECG. After placebo there were no statistically significant changes. Nisoldipine led to a decrease in aortic pressure from 109 +/- 12 to 93 +/- 11 mm Hg (p less than 0.05) before, and from 103 +/- 14 to 92 +/- 8 mm Hg (NS) during balloon inflation. In contrast, coronary occlusion pressure remained unchanged. Heart rate increased from 80 +/- 13 to 96 +/- 16/min before (p less than 0.05), and from 87 +/- 18 to 97 +/- 17/min during balloon inflation (NS). Coronary sinus flow was increased from 95 +/- 16 to 116 +/- 13 ml/min before balloon inflation (p less than 0.01), and from 70 +/- 25 to 86 +/- 26 ml/min during balloon inflation (NS). ST-segment depression or elevation, severity of angina pectoris, and the diastolic pulmonary artery pressure remained unchanged. Thus, 0.3 mg nisoldipine led to a peripheral vasodilatation. While the aortic pressure decreased, coronary occlusion pressure remained unaffected. This could be explained by a marked dilatation of collateral vessels due to nisoldipine. However, myocardial ischemia remained unaffected as a result of the constant coronary occlusion pressure.
