Abstract

To evaluate the acute effect of minocycline on the pericardium in the experimental animal and in the human with malignant pericardial disease. A prospective study in open-chest dogs and in humans. Experimental surgery laboratory, medical school; coronary care unit, university hospital. Twenty-three open-chest dogs were divided into four groups according to the solution injected intrapericardially: (1) minocycline, 5 mg/kg; (2) minocycline, 10 mg/kg; (3) normal saline solution, 100 mL, followed by minocycline, 10 mg/kg; (4) a mixture of 50 mL of the dog's own blood mixed ex vivo with minocycline, 10 mg/kg to evaluate the effect of rising pH of minocycline solution. The extent of myocardial injury is evaluated by measuring ST-T segment deviation in six standard bipolar leads and in three unipolar electrograms recorded over the left ventricular pericardial surface. The pH of the various minocycline solutions is measured. Nine consecutive patients with malignant cardiac tamponade receiving minocycline intrapericardially are evaluated for the appearance of chest pain and ECG changes. Minocycline (5 and 10 mg/kg) caused marked, transient ST-T segment deviation in all dogs, whether or not saline solution was previously injected into t...Continue Reading
