title: High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of myocardial interstitial dihydroxyphenylglycol.
abstract: This study describes a high-performance liquid chromatographic method with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) for monitoring dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG) in the myocardial interstitial space. Using a cardiac dialysis technique, 10-microl dialysates were sampled from the myocardial interstitial space (1-min fractions) and were injected directly into the HPLC-ED system. The in vitro quantification limit for DHPG was 250 fg in a 10-microl injection. The basal DHPG concentration of dialysate was 181+/-46 pg/ml. This system offers a new possibility for monitoring myocardial interstitial DHPG levels.
