  • Title: [Action of dopamine on blood flow of the limbs and on blood viscosity (author's transl)].
    Author: Forconi S, Guerrini M, Agnusdei D, Di Perri T.
    Journal: G Ital Cardiol; 1976; 6(5):968-9. PubMed ID: 1010226.
    Abstract:
    The observation of several cases of gangrene in the lower limbs of subjects treated with an infusion of dopamine has encouraged the authors to study the action of the drug, in a dose capable of increasing the arterial pressure, on the blood flow in the lower limbs and on the viscosity of the blood in a group of normal middle aged subjects. A significant reduction in the values of the blood flow with a simultaneous increase in the blood viscosity was observed. There results confirm the ischemic action of the drug with the doses used at the muscular and cutaneous level in the lower limbs.
