Abstract
- The acute effects of intravenous trapidil on hemodynamics, coronary circulation and myocardial metabolism were evaluated in 19 patients (Group I: 10 patients of chest pain syndrome; Group II: 9 patients of coronary heart disease). The heart rate increased (p less than 0.05) and aortic pressure decreased (p less than 0.01) during a 6-min study period. Pulmonary arterial end-diastolic pressure decreased slightly in both groups and cardiac output increased prominently in Group II. Myocardial oxygen consumption did not change significantly 3 and 6 min after trapidil injection. Coronary sinus flow increased slightly (statistically not significant) despite a decrease in aortic pressure, and thus, coronary vascular resistance decreased significantly in both groups. Coronary A-V O2 difference decreased 3 min after trapidil injection and no significant change in the lactate extraction ratio was observed. The diameter of the left main coronary artery increased by about 6% after an administration of trapidil. These results suggest that trapidil has the beneficial effect of coronary vasodilation and it increases cardiac output, despite a decrease in the preload, without a significant increase in myocardial oxygen consumption. The latter may be due to an afterload reduction effect of this drug.
