  • Title: [Dopamine in patients with cardiogenic shock (author's transl)].
    Author: Kikis D, Esser H, Trübestein G.
    Journal: Med Klin; 1977 Jul 15; 72(28-29):1212-7. PubMed ID: 329088.
    Abstract:
    The effect of dopamine was tested in 20 patients with cardiogenic shock. 14 patients suffered from acute myocardial infarction, 6 patients from severe heart failure. In the beginning the dosis of dopamine was 200 to 300 microgram/min. 4 patients with an acute myocardial infarction died in shock. The remaining 10 patients survived the first shock symptomes. All patients with heart failure survived the cardiogenic shock. Hemodynamic studies showed a sigificant increase of the arterial mean pressure and a decrease of the diastolic arterial pulmonary pressure. During dopamine a statistically not significant increase of cardiac index and stroke volume was observed.
