  • Title: [Effects of intravenous trinitrin infusion on systemic and coronary circulations during atrial electric stimulation].
    Author: Fernandez F, Mechmeche R, Baclet M, Gerbaux A.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1979 Aug; 72(8):884-8. PubMed ID: 115432.
    Abstract:
    Intravenous infusion of trinitrin (0.38 +/- 0.25 mg/hour) during rapid atrial pacing reduced pulmonary capillary pressures, cardiac output, coronary blood flow and myocardial oxygen consumption. At these dosages trinitrin allows patients with ischaemic heart disease to undergo atrial pacing in the best conditions by maintaining the pulmonary capillary and systemic arterial pressures and myocardial lactate production within limits close to the basal values. The beneficial effects last during the recovery period after the termination of pacing and of the intravenous infusion.
