Abstract/OtherAbstract:
AIMS: To investigate the effects of an intravenous infusion of BMS-180048, a novel 5HT1-like agonist, on the systemic, pulmonary and coronary circulations in patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterisation. METHODS: Ten patients (mean age 55 years (range 41-65)) were studied during diagnostic cardiac catheterisation. The haemodynamic response to an intravenous (i.v.) infusion for 30 min of BMS-180048 (0.56 mg kg(-1) h(-1) for 10 min and 0.39 mg kg(-1) h(-1) for 20 min) was assessed via a 7F Swan Ganz catheter and thermodilution cardiac output system. Quantitative coronary angiography was performed at 10 min intervals. RESULTS: BMS-180048 caused a significant increase in systemic arterial systolic blood pressure (rise of 32.5 mmHg, 95% CI 24,44.5) P=0.009), pulmonary artery systolic (12.2 mmHg, 95% CI 6.8,18.5; P=0.009) and diastolic pressures (8.5 mmHg, 95% CI 5.0,13.8; P=0.009), right atrial pressure (4 mmHg, 95% CI 1.5,5.2; P=0.013) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (9.5 mmHg 95% CI 5.2,14.0; P=0.09). There was no significant change in cardiac output (0.1 l min(-1), 95% CI -0.17,0.57, P>0.05). Mean coronary artery diameter in the proximal coronary segments decreased by 0.73 mm (95% CI -1.22,-0.15; P=0.03) at 35 min. The corresponding reduction in middle segments was 0.26 mm (95% CI -0.395,-0.08; P=0.02). There was a non-significant trend to constriction in the most distal segments of 0.28 mm (95% CI -0.68,0.015); P=0.06). One patient experienced chest pain with ECG changes suggestive of ischaemia. CONCLUSIONS: BMS-180048 displayed a cardiovascular profile similar to that previously reported for sumatriptan. These changes appear to reflect a class effect of these agents.
