[Effect of dopamine on left-ventricular systolic time interval in children after open-heart surgery]. 1989

Z Kruszyński, and D Podstawska, and D Wojciechowska, and M Wojtalik

Effect of dopamine at the dose of 3 and 6 micrograms/kg/min on the systolic time intervals (STI) in 16 children after open heart surgery has been examined. The basic hemodynamic parameters --heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure have also been evaluated. Heart rate did not change during either rate of dopamine infusion. Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure increased significantly during the higher dose of dopamine. The dose of 3 and 6 micrograms/kg/min of dopamine decreased significantly the relation between pre-ejection period (PEP) and left-ventricular++ ejection time (LVET). Besides during the higher rate of infusion pre-ejection period index was decreased. The simple and noninvasive measurement of systolic time intervals is a sensitive index of the inotropic effect of dopamine in children after cardiac surgery.

D011666 Pulmonary Valve Stenosis The pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the PULMONARY VALVE. This lesion restricts blood outflow from the RIGHT VENTRICLE to the PULMONARY ARTERY. When the trileaflet valve is fused into an imperforate membrane, the blockage is complete.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
