title: Alleviation of myocardial dysfunction and abnormal lactate metabolism during coronary stenosis in dogs by ICI 118,551.
abstract: Hemodynamic parameters, segment shortening in the ischemic myocardium and cardiac lactate extraction were estimated in the presence of a critical coronary stenosis, before and after administration of the selective beta 2-adrenoceptor antagonist, ICI 118,551, or the beta 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, atenolol, to anesthetized dogs. ICI 118,551 (0.2 and 0.5 mg/kg i.v.) and atenolol (0.2 mg/kg i.v.) produced significant decreases in both heart rate (by 6, 14 and 20% of the predrug value, respectively) and maxLVdP/dt (by 15, 26 and 24% of the predrug value, respectively). ICI 118,551 (0.5 mg/kg) and atenolol significantly improved the impaired shortening of the myocardial segment when compared with the change seen after saline administration. ICI 118,551 at both doses and atenolol significantly increased depressed cardiac lactate extraction while saline did not. Increasing heart rate by pacing abolished the beneficial effects of ICI 118,551 and atenolol on ischemic myocardial segment shortening and lactate metabolism. The data suggest that not only beta 1- but also beta 2-adrenoceptor blockade may contribute to the amelioration of myocardial ischemia in a model of coronary stenosis.
