Low heart stroke volume syndrome is clinically manifested with hypoperfusion of all body systems. Inotropic or mechanical support is applied. Acute heart failure is one of the most important complications after open heart surgery. Catecholamines have been up to non considered as a therapy of choice for the acute heart failure. Effectiveness of catecholamines could be limited with some side effects. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors promise a new therapeutic approach. PDE III primary act through phosphodiesterase inhibition which leads to a rise of aAPM levels. Thus they show positive inotropic and lusitropic effects, which could be monitored by occlusive pulmonary capillary pressure values. Amrinone is obviously superior to inotropic catecholamines.

D002302 Cardiac Output The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat). Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac
D002303 Cardiac Output, Low A state of subnormal or depressed cardiac output at rest or during stress. It is a characteristic of CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, including congenital, valvular, rheumatic, hypertensive, coronary, and cardiomyopathic. The serious form of low cardiac output is characterized by marked reduction in STROKE VOLUME, and systemic vasoconstriction resulting in cold, pale, and sometimes cyanotic extremities.

D002316 Cardiotonic Agents Agents that have a strengthening effect on the heart or that can increase cardiac output. They may be CARDIAC GLYCOSIDES; SYMPATHOMIMETICS; or other drugs. They are used after MYOCARDIAL INFARCT; CARDIAC SURGICAL PROCEDURES; in SHOCK; or in congestive heart failure (HEART FAILURE).

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
