Negative inotropic agents are often administered to decrease the left ventricular (LV) pressure gradient in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC). Little information is available regarding comparisons of the effects on LV pressure gradient among negative inotropic agents. The present study compared the decrease in the LV pressure gradient at rest in patients with obstructive HC after treatment with pilsicainide versus treatment with disopyramide or cibenzoline. The LV pressure gradient and LV function were assessed before and after the intravenous administration of each drug. In 12 patients (group A, mean pressure gradient 90 ± 24 mm Hg), the effects of disopyramide, propranolol, and verapamil were compared. In another 12 patients (group B, mean pressure gradient 98 ± 34 mm Hg), a comparison was performed among disopyramide, cibenzoline, and pilsicainide. In group A, the percentage of reduction in the LV pressure gradient was 7.7 ± 9.9% with verapamil, 19.0 ± 20.2% with propranolol, and 58.6 ± 15.0% with disopyramide, suggesting that disopyramide was more effective than either verapamil or propranolol. In group B, the percentage of reduction in the LV pressure gradient was 55.3 ± 26.6% with disopyramide, 55.3 ± 20.6% with cibenzoline, and 54.7 ± 15.4% with pilsicainide, suggesting an equivalent effect on the LV pressure gradient for these 3 agents. In conclusion, these results indicate that the acute efficacy for the reduction of the LV pressure gradient at rest by pilsicainide (a pure sodium channel blocker) was equivalent to that of disopyramide or cibenzoline (combined sodium and calcium channel blockers). Accordingly, sodium channel blockade might be more important for reducing the LV pressure gradient at rest in patients with obstructive HC than calcium channel blockade or β blockade. |
