Inotropic and chronotropic responses of the in vivo denervated dog myocardium to dobutamine. 1976

C P Bolter, and J R Ledsome

The inotropic and chronotropic responses to dobutamine (DBA) and isoprenaline (5ISO) were examined in eight chloralose anaesthetised dogs. Following acute cardiac denervation, heart rate (HR) and contractility (dP/dtmax), measured at a fixed paced atrial rate, were recorded during intravenous infusion of incremental doses of DBA and ISO. Both DBA and ISO elicited increases in HR and dP/dtmax. The increases in dP/dtmax for a one beat per minute increase in HR was 102.0 +/- 10.6 mm Hg/s (1 mm Hg (0 degree C) = 133.322 Pa), during DBA infusion, and 61.5 +/- 8.4 mm Hg/s during ISO infusion. It appeared that the relatively greater inotropic effect of DBA in comparison with ISO was the result of an augmentation of its inotropic activity. DBA infusion was accompanied by a significant increase in mean aortic pressure at all doses examined. An increase in afterload may account for part of the increased inotropic responses to DBA.
