Abstract
The hemodynamic effects of prostaglandin E1, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), nitroglycerin, and hydralazine were studied in a porcine model of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) due to glass bead microembolization (60-150-microns diameter). Each animal received all four drugs. Each drug was titrated to produce a 30% reduction in mean systemic arterial pressure. Although all four drugs decreased PVR, distinct differences in the hemodynamic profiles of the four drugs were evident. Prostaglandin E1 produced the largest reduction in mean pulmonary artery pressure (from 41 +/- 1 to 32 +/- 9 mm Hg, mean +/- SEM) and PVR (25 +/- 3 to 18 +/- 2 mm Hg.L-1.min-1), and did not affect the ratio of PVR to systemic vascular resistance (PVR/SVR). Sodium nitroprusside and nitroglycerin produced moderate decreases in PVR (nitroglycerin 21 +/- 2 to 18 +/- 2 mm Hg.L-1.min-1, SNP 22 +/- 2 to 19 +/- 2 mm Hg.L-1.min-1) and in mean pulmonary artery pressure (nitroglycerin 39 +/- 1 to 35 +/- 1; SNP 40 +/- 1 to 36 +/- 2 mm Hg). Both drugs significantly increased the PVR/SVR ratio. Hydralazine was the only drug that significantly increased cardiac output (1.6 +/- 0.2 to 1.9 +/- 0.3 L/min). Hydralazine had no significant effect on mean pulmonary art...Continue Reading
