Cardiovascular effects of propofol in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy

Abstract

The authors tested the hypothesis that propofol improves left ventricular diastolic function in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy by reducing left ventricular preload and afterload. Seven dogs were instrumented for left ventricular and aortic pressures, aortic blood flow, and subendocardial segment length. Left ventricular afterload and contractility were quantified with aortic input impedance and preload recruitable stroke work, respectively. Diastolic function was evaluated with a time constant of left ventricular relaxation (tau); segment-lengthening velocities and time-velocity integrals during early left ventricular filling (dL/dtE and TVI-E, respectively) and atrial systole (dL/dtA and TVI-A, respectively); and a regional chamber stiffness constant (K). Dogs were paced at 240 beats/min for 18 +/- 3 days, and hemodynamics were recorded in sinus rhythm in the conscious state. Anesthesia was induced with propofol (5 mg/kg) and maintained with propofol infusions at 25, 50, and 100 mg x kg-1 x h-1, and hemodynamics were recorded after 15 min of equilibration at each dose. Propofol decreased mean arterial pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, and K but did not change heart rate. Propofol reduced total arterial resis...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
