[Is the bradycardic effect of tedisamil at the expense of the loss of the inotropic effect? A pressure-volume analysis with the conductance (volume) catheter technique in patients with coronary artery disease].

UNLABELLED
To exclude or prove potential inotropic influences from tedisamil's bradycardiac effects, our hemodynamic evaluation in 13 patients (pat.) with coronary artery disease (CAD) included analyses of end-systolic pressure-volume relationships (ESPVR) after tedisamil, 0.3 mg/kg infusion at rest and during tachycardia induced by atrial pacing. Slope Emax [mm HG/ml] fell by 14% at rest (13 pat.) and by 10% during paced tachycardia (6/13 pat.) while loops of ESPVR tended to move rightward towards larger volumes (p > 0.05): all parameter changes indicated lack of significant inotropy loss with tedisamil. While mean heart rate decreased from 77.5 to 64.7 b/min and QTc duration increased by 14% (p < 0.05), filling pressure as well as dP/dtmin remained unchanged and vascular resistance rose by 30%. Parameters of LV-pump function (ejection fraction, stroke volume) decreased slightly (between 3 and 13%), while LV-volumes increased (end-diastolic by 6%, end-systolic by 23%). The respective parameter changes during paced tachycardia were comparable in tendency.


CONCLUSION
Tedisamil's bradycardic effects are selectively generated without impairing either ventricular pump function or contractility in a clinically relevant fashion. Thus, tedisamil can be used safely in CAD.
