LEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC PRESSURE IN CARDIOGENIC SHOCK TREATED BY DEXTROSE INFUSION AND ADRENALINE

Within a few hours of the onset of cardiac infarction an active 73-year-old man had a cardiac arrest, and was resuscitated. Profound shock followed upon this and responded to treatment with 5% dextrose infusion, supplemented for a period with adrenaline. Left heart catheterisation during the shock r...

Zusammenfassung:Within a few hours of the onset of cardiac infarction an active 73-year-old man had a cardiac arrest, and was resuscitated. Profound shock followed upon this and responded to treatment with 5% dextrose infusion, supplemented for a period with adrenaline. Left heart catheterisation during the shock revealed normal left ventricular diastolic pressure, rising to 15 mm. Hg under treatment.
