[Changes in hemodynamics in acute myocardial infarct following administration of potassium orotate]. 1976

L Tomov, and A Kaloianova

The basic hemodynamic indices prior to and post the treatment with potassium orothate were investigated 25 patients with acute myocardial infarction. The method for quantitative investigation of hemodynamics is used by the dilution of colour indicator and recording of the dilution curves with the ear oximeter. The results obtained are compared with those of a control group of 30 patients with the same disease. The data revealed that in the treatment with potassium orothate a more favourable evolution develops in the values of cardiac output, total peripheral vascular resistance and the volume of the circulating blood. The authors associate the more favourable effect of these indices with a faster recovering of the contractibility of the myocardium.

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D001776 Blood Circulation Time Determination of the shortest time interval between the injection of a substance in the vein and its arrival at some distant site in sufficient concentration to produce a recognizable end result. It represents approximately the inverse of the average velocity of blood flow between two points.
