title: Coronary angiography during acute myocardial infarction in dogs: comparison of the hemodynamic effects of ionic and nonionic contrast media.
abstract: We compared the hemodynamic effects during coronary angiography of three nonionic contrast media, iopamidol, iohexol, and ioversol, with each other as well as with the standard ionic contrast medium containing 66% diatrizoate meglumine and 10% diatrizoate sodium (Hypaque-76) in the presence of a left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion in dogs. In 13 opened-chest anesthetized dogs, we recorded the maximal change in left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), mean aortic pressure (MAP), left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP) and rate of rise in left ventricular pressure (LV dp/dt) during left main coronary artery injections of 10 ml each of Hypaque-76, iopamidol, iohexol, and loversal 1 hour after left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion. The changes in LVSP and MAP were, respectively, -29 +/- 12 mm Hg and -21 +/- 11 mm Hg with Hypaque-76, 3 +/- 6.6 mm Hg and -0.2 +/- 3.6 mm Hg with iopamidol, 4.8 +/- 8.6 mm Hg and 0.5 +/- 4 mm Hg with iohexol, and -0.8 +/- 6 mm Hg and -1.5 +/- 33 mm Hg with ioversal (p less than 0.001). The change in LVDP was 5.4 +/- 4.4 mm Hg with Hypaque-76 but -1.5 +/- 3.1 mm Hg with iopamidol, -1.7 +/- 2.4 mm Hg with iohexol, and -0.5 +/- 2.5 mm Hg with ioversol (p less than 0.001). The LV dp/dt decreased 682 +/- 318 mm Hg/sec with Hypaque-76, but increased 412 +/- 297 mm Hg/sec with iopamidol, 350 +/- 214 mm Hg/sec with iohexol, and 293 +/- 191 mm Hg/sec with ioversol (p less than 0.001). Thus, each nonionic agent produced significantly fewer hemodynamic abnormalities than Hypaque-76. There was no significant difference between any of the nonionic agents on any hemodynamic parameter. These agents may be preferable in patients with acute myocardial infarction or significantly impaired myocardial function.
