title: [Comparison of the cardiovascular actions of Cordemcura, isoprenaline and dobutamine in cats].
abstract: A comparative study was made of the closed-chest cardiovascular effects of Cordemcura (amrinone), isoprenaline, and dobutamine in anaesthetized cats (n = 17). The haemodynamic parameters used for this purpose include: maximum rate of both left ventricular pressure rise (dp/dtmax) and decline (dp/dtmin), heart frequency (HFR), arterial blood pressure, both systolic (Ps) and diastolic (Pd). The maximum changes of the haemodynamic parameters after increasing iv. bolus injections of the test substances were used to plot the dose-effect curves of the single parameters for each substance. All the 3 pharmaceuticals caused dp/dtmax to rise, with quantitative differences being found. Moreover, quantitatively different positive chronotropic effects have been found. The influence on the remaining haemodynamic parameters was different both in the quantitative and in the qualitative sense. The results were discussed with regard to comparing the cardiovascular effects of Cordemcura with isoprenaline and dobutamine.
