Different hemodynamic actions of trinitroglycerin and isosorbide dinitrate in patients with acute myocardial infarction. 1983

D Rezakovic, and W Rutishauser, and L Pavicic, and M Popadic, and A Bloch, and E W Imhoff

The hemodynamic effects of intravenously administered trinitroglycerin (TNT) and isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) in stechiometric equivalent doses were studied in 30 patients with acute myocardial infarction. Both drugs were given over 30 min in every patient, and the stability of the condition of the patient was checked by administering the initial drug again. Measurements were made by right heart catheterization using a balloon tip thermodilution catheter and a catheter in the radial artery. TNT and ISDN have different hemodynamic effects. By multivariate analysis it could be shown that TNT is a venous dilator, lowering mainly pulmonary capillary pressure, while ISDN acts more as a mixed vasodilator, diminishing mainly peripheral vascular resistance and increasing cardiac output. These drugs have, therefore, a different spectrum of indications in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
