[Positive inotropic effects of doxaminol in congestive heart failure]. 1983

K Bödigheimer, and T Ischinger, and F G Nowak, and W Delius

The hemodynamic effects of doxaminol, a new, orally applicable beta-agonist, chemically dissimilar to catecholamines, were studied in comparison to those of dobutamine by means of thermodilution. After single-dose application of doxaminol in cases of congestive heart failure, cardiac output and stroke volume increased, heart rate increased slightly, pulmonary and systemic arterial pressure remained constant, and peripheral vascular resistance decreased. No arrhythmias appeared, but one patient suffered an attack of angina.

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.
