    Abstract:
    The hemodynamic side effects of intracoronary injection of low osmolality contrast media were studied in anesthetised dogs, both with and without left ventricular (LV) failure. LV failure was induced by microembolization of the area supplied by the left main coronary artery. LV pressure and volume, aortic pressure, and cardiac output were recorded. 6 ml iodixanol 320 mg I/ml containing 20 mmol Na+/l, a new non-ionic dimer, was compared to iohexol and ioxaglate. Iodixanol induced small systolic alterations both before and after LV failure. Iohexol increased LV inotropy while ioxaglate depressed myocardial function. Before failure iodixanol and ioxaglate impaired isovolumic relaxation, but early diastolic filling was not reduced. After failure the relaxation process was not affected, but ioxaglate reduced early diastolic filling. Ioxaglate also increased LV end-diastolic pressure and volume more than the non-ionic contrast media. In conclusion, iodixanol induced only small changes in systolic and diastolic function. Iodixanol should therefore be hemodynamically well tolerated during coronary arteriography, and also in acute ischemic heart failure.
