Abstract

Cardiac performance and mitral regurgitation were measured by Doppler echocardiography and right heart catheterization in 12 patients with severe congestive heart failure who performed isometric exercise during control and intravenous administration of dobutamine and nitroglycerin. During control isometric exercise, mitral regurgitant volume increased from 18 +/- 13 to 31 +/- 17 ml (p less than 0.01), while forward stroke volume, by both thermodilution and Doppler echocardiography, substantially decreased. At rest, dobutamine decreased mitral regurgitant volume from 18 +/- 13 to 11 +/- 10 ml (p less than 0.05), while forward stroke volume increased from 46 +/- 13 to 55 +/- 15 ml (p less than 0.05). During isometric exercise, dobutamine tended to decrease mitral regurgitant volume (24 +/- 12 vs. 31 +/- 17 ml; NS) when compared with control exercise. At rest, nitroglycerin decreased mitral regurgitant volume from 18 +/- 13 to 11 +/- 11 ml (p less than 0.05), while forward stroke volume, by both thermodilution and Doppler echocardiography, substantially increased. Similarly, during isometric exercise, nitroglycerin decreased mitral regurgitant volume from 31 +/- 17 to 20 +/- 14 ml (p less than 0.05), while significantly increasing...Continue Reading
