Effect of adenosine-induced controlled hypotension on canine myocardial performance, blood flow and metabolism.
The effect of adenosine-induced controlled hypotension (CH) on myocardial performance, blood flow, and metabolism was studied in nine pentobarbital-anaesthetized, open-chest dogs. Adenosine was continuously infused i.v. (0.69 +/- 0.06 and 1.36 +/- 0.11 mg/kg/min) at two stepwise increased rates (12-14 min-periods) in order to induce approximately 20 and 40% reduction of the mean arterial pressure (MAP 62 +/- 4 and 43 +/- 1 mmHg, respectively). The reduction of MAP was associated with decreases in heart rate (6 +/- 2%, P less than 0.05 and 21 +/- 4%, P less than 0.01), left intraventricular systolic pressure (14 +/- 3%, P less than 0.01 and 32 +/- 3%, P less than 0.01), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (23 +/- 9%, P less than 0.05 and 42 +/- 9%, P less than 0.01) and ventricular intramyocardial systolic pressure (15 +/- 6% n.s. and 27 +/- 6%, P less than 0.01). The rate pressure product was markedly reduced by 49 +/- 3% (P less than 0.01) at the highest infusion rate. The mean coronary vein pressure (20.3 +/- 2.8 mmHg) was unaffected by the adenosine infusion. The systolic pressure time index (SPTI) was decreased by 33 +/- 3% (P less than 0.01) during the highest infusion rate of adenosine, while the diastolic perfusion time index (DPTI) was 15.4 +/- 2.2 mmHg X s and remained unchanged. The DPTI:SPTI ratio increased by 40 +/- 13% (P less than 0.05), suggesting a sufficient endocardial oxygen supply.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
