Positive effects of nitric oxide on left ventricular function in humans.
AIMS The myocardial effect of tonically released nitric oxide (NO) in humans is still not known. We tested the hypothesis that low-dose NO exerts positive effects on left ventricular (LV) function. METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve healthy volunteers, 26+/-4 years, were enrolled in this study. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to precisely measure the direct effects of NO on stroke volume index (S...
متن کاملEffect of exogenous nitric oxide on baroreflex function in humans.
Nitric oxide (NO) donors inhibit sympathetic neurotransmission and baroreceptor activity and can directly stimulate heart rate (HR) in vitro. To assess whether exogenous NO affects cardiovascular autonomic control in humans, we tested the baroreceptor-cardiac reflex [baroreflex sensitivity (BRS)] and the arterial blood pressure (BP) and HR variability during an infusion of the NO donor sodium n...
متن کاملEffects of the intracoronary infusion of cocaine on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in humans.
BACKGROUND In dogs, a large amount of intravenous cocaine causes a profound deterioration of left ventricular (LV) systolic function and an increase in LV end-diastolic pressure. This study was done to assess the influence of a high intracoronary cocaine concentration on LV systolic and diastolic function in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS In 20 patients (14 men and 6 women aged 39 to 72 years) r...
متن کاملEndothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Single Nucleotide Polymorphism and Left Ventricular Function in Early Chronic Kidney Disease
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with accelerated cardiovascular disease and heart failure. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) Glu298Asp single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype has been associated with a worse phenotype amongst patients with established heart failure and in patients with progression of their renal disease. The association of a cardiac functional...
متن کاملIntracoronary albunex. Its effects on left ventricular hemodynamics, function, and coronary sinus flow in humans.
BACKGROUND Albunex is a recently developed ultrasonic contrast agent made from sonicated human serum albumin. The effects on left ventricular hemodynamics, function, and coronary sinus flow of intracoronary Albunex in humans have not been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS Eighteen patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease were examined at the time of coronary arteriography with sim...
