Myocardial response to contrast media: effects on electrolyte metabolism and subcellular structures. 1977

E Löhr, and J C Reidmeister, and G Popitz, and H Otto, and J Timmermann

The success of coronary angiography depends upon appropriate use and administration of contrast media. We used guinea-pig hearts to study tolerance to various contrast media, with particular attention to electrolyte changes. Changes in myocardial subcellular structures appear to correspond to changes in electrolyte flow produced by contrast media.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007483 Iothalamic Acid A contrast medium in diagnostic radiology with properties similar to those of diatrizoic acid. It is used primarily as its sodium and meglumine (IOTHALAMATE MEGLUMINE) salts. Iotalamic Acid,Methalamic Acid,Angio-Conray,Conray 420,Iodothalamate,Iothalamate,Iothalamic Acid, Calcium (2:1) Salt,Iothalamic Acid, Monosilver (1+) Salt,Iothalamic Acid, Monosodium Salt,Iothalamic Acid, Monosodium Salt, Dimer,Lopamidol,Sodium Iothalamate,Acid, Iotalamic,Acid, Iothalamic,Acid, Methalamic,Angio Conray,AngioConray,Iothalamate, Sodium
D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow. Muscle, Cardiac,Muscle, Heart,Cardiac Muscle,Myocardia,Cardiac Muscles,Heart Muscle,Heart Muscles,Muscles, Cardiac,Muscles, Heart
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
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.

D003973 Diatrizoate A commonly used x-ray contrast medium. As DIATRIZOATE MEGLUMINE and as Diatrizoate sodium, it is used for gastrointestinal studies, angiography, and urography.

D005110 Extracellular Space Interstitial space between cells, occupied by INTERSTITIAL FLUID as well as amorphous and fibrous substances. For organisms with a CELL WALL, the extracellular space includes everything outside of the CELL MEMBRANE including the PERIPLASM and the cell wall.

D006168 Guinea Pigs A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research. Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
D006321 Heart The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood. Hearts
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
