AIM: To study the role of endothelin (ET-1) and adrenomedullin (AM) on pulmonary vascular pressure/flow characteristic (pulmonary arterial pressure/cardiac output (Pap/CO)) during low-dose dobutamine infusion. METHODS: Case control study of 14 patients (12 men, 2 women) with severe lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD n=5; cystic fibrosis, CF n=9) and 5 control subjects (CTRL, 4 men, 1 woman). ET-1 and AM plasma levels in pulmonary artery (mixed venous blood, ven) and aorta or femoral artery (arterial, art), were measured at baseline and during dobutamine infusion (5-10-15 mcg kg(-1) min(-1))...

BACKGROUND: Dobutamina Studio Italiano Multicentrico (Do.S.I.M.) is a prospective, randomized, multicenter interuniversity Italian study aimed at assessing the effects of dobutamine on spontaneous variability of ventricular arrhythmias in sinus rhythm NYHA class III-IV patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). METHODS: Out of 74 pre-hoc estimated CHF patients, 68 (92%) were randomized electively to either being washed out of all active drugs except diuretics (group A) or to continue with the standard regimen including digitalis, diuretics and ACE-inhibitors (group B, standard therapy)...

AIM: The aim of the study was to report the incidence and clinical meaning of side-effects caused by echo-dobutamine testing in a large population and to evaluate any possible correlation between dobutamine dose and side-effects. METHODS: The study population consisted of 3041 patients enrolled from January 1994 to August 1995 at 63 centers participating in the Italian Register of Echo-Dobutamine Testing (Registro Italiano Test Eco-Dobutamina, RITED). The four major indications were myocardial infarction older than one month (40...

The Authors report on their experience about SvO2 continuous monitoring in order to find out the best therapeutic answer to inotropic drugs, knowing that, at constant values of SaO2 and Hb, possible variations of SvO2 reliably correspond with parallel variations of cardiac index (IC). Two groups of 15 patients each, suffering from low out-put syndrome, have been studied; patients have been treated with inotropic therapy based on Dobutamina and Amrinone. The 2 groups only differed from each other for the kind of monitoring: the first group was exposed to intermittent measurements of the cardiac out-put, while the second group was exposed to continuous monitoring of SvO2...
