Combining Cariporide with Glyceryl Trinitrate Optimizes Cardiac Preservation During Porcine Heart Transplantation

Comparison with glyceryl trinitrate

The coronary haemodynamic effects of nifedipine and glyceryl trinitrate were compared in 22 patients undergoing investigations for suspected coronary artery disease. Myocardial blood flow was estimated by the coronary sinus thermodilution technique. In sinus rhythm nifedipine increased mean coronary sinus flow from 135 ml/min to 152 m/min, and reduced arterio-coronary sinus oxygen difference fr...

Haemodynamic effects of glyceryl trinitrate during continuous 24 hour infusion in patients with heart failure.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the susceptibility to tolerance to glyceryl trinitrate is similar in different vascular beds in patients with chronic heart failure. PATIENTS Twenty patients with heart failure underwent a continuous infusion of glyceryl trinitrate over 24 hours followed by administration of N-acetylcysteine (5 g intravenously) in a bolus. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Haemodynamic ...

Glyceryl trinitrate before coronary angiography.

Exposure to glyceryl trinitrate during gun powder production: plasma glyceryl trinitrate concentration, elimination kinetics, and discomfort among production workers.

Plasma glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) concentration was studied in 12 volunteers producing gun powder. Serial blood samples were obtained from the cubital vein before and during work at two sites of production; high concentrations of GTN were detected in the plasma. Control specimens from a femoral vein contained much less GTN, indicating that blood in the cubital vein was enriched by dermally absor...

of stones from the gall bladder.3 There are several clinical implications. The long contiguous course of the cystic duct and common hepatic duct could explain why surgeons sometimes inadvertently leave a long remnant of cystic duct, which is reputedly a cause of the postcholecystectomy syndrome.4 Furthermore, the migration of stones from the gall bladder into the contiguous segment may explain ...
