| Measurements were not subjected to analysis if the patient was receiving any inotropic support other than isoprenaline. |
|
| It has therapeutic use in congestive heart failure and edema, having a positive inotropic effect on cardiac muscle. |
|
| We transferred the patient to the intensive care unit for respiratory and inotropic support. |
|
| Calcium channel blockers can have negative inotropic effects which may be additive to those of itraconazole. |
|
| The inotropic stimulation in response to alfentanil administration shifted the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship to the left and upward. |
|
| Sufentanil in combination with succinylcholine seemed to induce some slight positive inotropic effects. |
|
| Studies in animals have shown that the reversal of inotropic effect is relatively gradual, occurring over hours. |
|
| Excessive widening of QRS or excessive negative inotropic effect may occur. |
|
| May decrease inotropic effect in heart failure or rate control in atrial fibrillation or flutter. |
|
| The second type of inotropic agents that increase the force of cardiac muscle contraction includes dobutamine. |
|
| Like other inotropic agents, it may aggravate outflow tract obstruction in hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. |
|
| Such use may produce serious negative inotropic effects, or may excessively prolong conduction. |
|
| Negative inotropic effects can be detected in vitro, but such effects have not been seen in intact animals. |
|
| This may include intubation, ventilation, boluses of isotonic i.v. fluids, and inotropic support. |
|
| Because of its negative inotropic effect disopyramide may cause or worsen congestive heart failure. |
|
| Atenolol acts selectively without blocking the inotropic action of digitalis on the heart muscle. |
|
| A direct positive inotropic effect and an increase in the refractory period also have been postulated as possible antiarrhythmia mechanisms of spironolactone. |
|
| In a few instances, low cardiac output states and congestive heart failure could have been exacerbated by withdrawal of the inotropic effects of digitalis. |
|
| Compared to orciprenaline, salbutamol was about 40 times less active in terms of inotropic effect and four times less potent in terms of chronotropic effect. |
|
| A great example was the misbegotten flirtation a couple of decades ago with inotropic therapy. |
|
|
|
| Milrinone, at relevant inotropic and vasorelaxant concentrations, is a selective inhibitor of peak III cAMP phosphodiesterase isozyme in cardiac and vascular muscle. |
|
| Acute hemodynamic studies in a small number of patients with New York Heart Association Class II or III heart failure treated with felodipine have not demonstrated negative inotropic effects. |
|
| Studies in normal subjects have shown that Milrinone Lactate Injection produces increases in the slope of the left ventricular pressure-dimension relationship, indicating a direct inotropic effect of the drug. |
|
| In the cases reported, this was believed to be due to an excessive hypotensive action of the drug or, in some cases, due to concomitant use with other hypotensive or negative inotropic agents. |
|
| Continuous reassessment of vital signs and patient condition during management will help to determine further need for intubation, more fluids or, perhaps, initiation of inotropic support. |
|
| The patient responded poorly to resuscitation, so central line placement was planned for central venous pressure monitoring and for inotropic support. |
|
| Huez et al found that dobutamine administration significantly increased CO and Sm, most probably due to dobutamine's inotropic and vasodilatory properties. |
