The effect of sodium on hemodynamic changes during coronary angiography with nonionic contrast media.
To investigate the effect of sodium on cardiac hemodynamics, sodium chloride was added to nonionic contrast media to a 0.9% concentration and was compared with the standard media iohexol, iopamidol, and ioversol. Left coronary angiography was performed in 10 closed-chest, atrial-paced dogs with 10 ml injections of each preparation in a randomized and blinded fashion. The maximum changes in left ventricular systolic pressure, mean aortic pressure, left ventricular and diastolic pressure, and maximal rise of left ventricular pressure were measured. The left ventricular systolic pressure and mean aortic pressure decreased by 17 +/- 7 mm Hg and by 12 +/- 5 mm Hg with iohexol plus 0.9% NaCl, but only by 5 +/- 4 mm Hg and by 4 +/- 3 mm Hg with iohexol alone (p less than 0.001). The left ventricular and end diastolic pressure increased by 2.2 +/- 0.6 mm Hg with iohexol plus 0.9% NaCl, but did not change with iohexol alone (p less than 0.001). Left ventricular dp/dt decreased by 204 +/- 161 mm Hg/sec with iohexol plus 0.9% NaCl but increased by 392 +/- 122 mm Hg/sec with iohexol alone (p less than 0.001). Similar results were obtained from experiments with iopamidol versus iopamidol plus 0.9% NaCl and ioversol versus ioversol plus 0.9% NaCl. Ioversol plus 5% dextrose or ioversol plus 2.1% choline chloride (isomolar to ioversol plus 0.9% NaCl) produced a significant increase in left ventricular systolic pressure and left ventricular dp/dt (versus ioversol plus 0.9% NaCl, p less than 0.001). Thus, sodium, but not the osmolality or chloride, contributed to the negative inotropic effect of the contrast media.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
