Abstract
(en) We compared the hemodynamic and metabolic effects of dobutamine and sulmazol (AR-L115 BS) in normal dogs and in dogs with chronic volume overload. In both cases, the doses of dobutamine and sulmazol were adapted to produce comparable increases in two indices of inotropic state, peak (+) left ventricular dP/dt and dP/dt normalized by a developed pressure of 40 mm Hg. In normal dogs, both drugs had similar effects on myocardial oxygen consumption, myocardial high-energy phosphate stores, and renal or femoral blood flows; in addition, mean aortic pressure (129 +/- 8 to 114 +/- 10 mm Hg; p less than 0.002), the renal vascular resistance (--18%; p less than 0.005), and the coronary vascular resistance (--30%; p less than 0.05) were all decreased significantly during sulmazol administration. In chronic volume overload, the changes in renal and femoral blood flows and in myocardial high-energy phosphate stores induced by dobutamine or sulmazol were again similar. However, sulmazol still decreased mean aortic pressure (--20 +/- 5 mm Hg; p less than 0.002) and markedly reduced the left ventricular filling pressure (--40%; p less than 0.006), while these parameters were not significantly modified after dobutamine. Myocardial oxygen consumption was unchanged after sulmazol but increased slightly with dobutamine. Finally, the frequency of ventricular premature beat was unchanged by sulmazol but increased after dobutamine. In conclusion, sulmazol is likely to be superior to dobutamine to stimulate a failing left ventricle when clinical status is characterized by markedly elevated filling pressures. It might also be superior when the coronary vascular reserve is reduced or in the presence of ventricular arrhythmias.
