Effects of molsidomine on hemodynamics and blood gases in acute myocardial infarction with left heart failure. 1985

M Renard, and P Jacobs, and I Liebens, and A Friart, and R Bernard

We studied the effects of molsidomine on hemodynamic properties and blood gas levels in eight patients with acute myocardial infarction and left heart failure. One hour after an 8 mg intravenous bolus injection, pulmonary wedge pressure and right atrial pressure decreased, respectively, from 30 +/- 9 to 23 +/- 12 mm Hg (p less than 0.01) and from 10.4 +/- 3.6 to 7.8 +/- 4.0 mm Hg (p less than 0.05) without significant changes in heart rate, cardiac index, or systemic blood pressure. There was a mild decrease in arterial oxygen tension (from 61 +/- 15 to 56 +/- 6 mm Hg), but it was not significant. The drug induced no adverse effects. Intravenous bolus injection of molsidomine rapidly relieves pulmonary congestion in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
