Abstract

We evaluated the effects of dopamine (DA) infusion (1.5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 for 60 min) on secretion of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in 10 healthy subjects and 10 patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) (NYHA Classes III and IV). During DA infusion plasma levels of ANF were significantly raised in healthy subjects while the high basal values of ANF in CHF patients were significantly reduced; this trend was also evident for plasma noradrenaline (NA) levels in both groups. Diuresis, natriuresis and glomerular filtration rate were significantly increased while blood pressure, heart rate and central venous pressure remained unchanged in both groups. These findings indicate that DA infusion may affect the release of ANF. Changes in plasma NA concentration suggest that the sympathetic nervous system may be involved in this phenomenon.

Abstract

Aims In this study, we compared the clinical outcomes of elderly patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) stenosis treated with either coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or drug-eluting stent (DES). Methods and results From January 2003 to April 2006, 259 patients with ULMCA stenosis and age ≥75 years underwent coronary revascularization with either CABG or DES. One hundred and sixty-one patients were treated with CABG and 98 with DES. The cumulative unadjusted rates of 2-year mortality were 17% in CABG-treated patients and 18% in those treated with DES ( P = 0.71). The adjusted rates of 2-year survival were 85% for CABG-treated patients and 87% for DES-treated patients ( P = 0.74). The incidence of 2-year myocardial infarction was 6% in CABG-treated patients and 4% in DES-treated patients ( P = 0.11). The incidence of target lesion revascularization (TLR) was 3% in CABG-treated patients and 25% in DES-treated patients ( P < 0.0001). In the multivariable analysis, peripheral vascular disease, left ventricular ejection fraction and acute coronary syndrome were independent predictors of 2-year mortality. Conclusion In this study, we could not demonstrate a difference in mortality between CABG-treated patients and those treated with DES. However, the rate of TLR was higher in the DES group.
