Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The positive inotropic effect of AP-A was studied in anesthetized dogs with a severe stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Peak positive dP/dt (mm Hg/s) and % segment shortening (%SS) were used as indices of contractile function. AP-A (1.5-5.0 micrograms/kg, i.v.) produced positive inotropic effects globally (dP/dt, 1700 +/- 100 to 2650 +/- 250 mm Hg/s) and locally in the ischemic zone (%SS, 6.7 +/- 1.7 to 13.7 +/- 1.5%) without changing heart rate, mean arterial pressure or myocardial blood flow. These data suggest that AP-A may be potentially useful in the management of heart failure.
