Differential effects of sodium meglumine calcium metrizoate on the inotropic state of normal and ischemic myocardium. 1978

A V Als, and J R Serur, and P J LaRaia, and N C Miner, and S Paulin

Sodium meglumine calcium metrizoate was injected into isolated blood-perfused canine hearts to evaluate the effect of contrast agents containing calcium on normal and ischemic myocardium. Under normal perfusion pressure and mild ischemia, this contrast agent produced a positive inotropic effect, but during profound ischemia, this positive effect was followed by a period of myocardial depression. These findings indicate that the addition of an inotropic agent to contrast medium can produce a paradoxical depressant effect which can be deleterious to the ischemic myocardium.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
