Haemodynamic Effects of Nitroglycerin in Comparison with Preload and Sodium Nitroprusside on Patients after Coronary Bypass Surgery

Haemodynamic Effects of Nitroglycerin in Comparison with Preload and Sodium Nitroprusside on Patients after Coronary Bypass Surgery

To differentiate between the haemodynamic effects of intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG) and preload, left ventricular function curves were constructed for 10 patients with and without a steady NTG-infusion at left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) levels of between 9 and 17 mmHg eight hours after cor...

Zusammenfassung:To differentiate between the haemodynamic effects of intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG) and preload, left ventricular function curves were constructed for 10 patients with and without a steady NTG-infusion at left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) levels of between 9 and 17 mmHg eight hours after coronary bypass grafting. The haemodynamic effects of NTG were compared with those caused by sodium nitroprusside (NP) at identical filling pressures. Although NTG as such decreased cardiac index (CI) (p
