This study describes a high-performance liquid chromatographic method with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) for monitoring of epinephrine (Epi) in the myocardial interstitial space. The in vitro detection limit for Epi was 200 fg in a 50-microl injection. Using a cardiac dialysis technique, 60-microl dialysates were sampled from the myocardial interstitial space (6-min fractions). After an alumina procedure, the dialysate Epi concentration was measured using the HPLC-ED system. Although the basal Epi concentration was undetectable, local administration of desipramine increased Epi concentration of the dialysate to 38.1+/-18.5 pg/ml. This system affords a new possibility for estimating myocardial interstitial Epi level.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
