[Prevention of delayed cardiogenic shock in 850 patients with myocardial infarction (author's transl)]. 1979

V Rosival, and K Prónay

In 850 patients with acute myocardial infarction, cardiac output has been checked daily with acid-base-balance determinations, respiratory alcalosis being a sign of decreased cardiac output. In 84 patients without spontaneous increase of low cardiac output, treatment with cardiac glycosides has been started with the aim to prevent delayed cardiogenic shock: only 1 patient died in delayed cardiogenic shock and 3 patients in delayed heart failure. In the remaining 766 patients, only 1 patient died in delayed heart failure. With this successful prevention, the overall hospital lethality has dropped to 11.06% as compared with 21.70% in 3272 comparable patients in the literature.

D002301 Cardiac Glycosides Cyclopentanophenanthrenes with a 5- or 6-membered lactone ring attached at the 17-position and SUGARS attached at the 3-position. Plants they come from have long been used in congestive heart failure. They increase the force of cardiac contraction without significantly affecting other parameters, but are very toxic at larger doses. Their mechanism of action usually involves inhibition of the NA(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE and they are often used in cell biological studies for that purpose.
