    Abstract:
    Coronary angiography with standard ionic contrast media is associated with marked alterations in cardiac hemodynamics because of the depressant effects of the contrast media on cardiac contractility. Nonionic contrast media have been reported to produce less hemodynamic alteration than standard ionic contrast media. However, there is no information on how one nonionic media compares to another. Thus we compared the hemodynamic effects of three nonionic contrast media, Iopamidol (IOP), Iohexol (IOH), and Ioversol (IOV) to each other as well as to the standard ionic contrast media Hypaque-76 (H76). In 20 closed-chest anesthetized dogs, we recorded the maximal change in left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), mean aortic pressure, left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP), and left ventricular dp/dt during 10-cc left main coronary artery injections of H76, IOP, IOH, and IOV. The mean aortic pressure and LVSP decreased 36 +/- 17 mm Hg and 46 +/- 21 mm Hg with H76 but only 5 +/- 5 mm Hg and 6 +/- 5 mm Hg with IOP, 5 +/- 4 mm Hg and 6 +/- 6 mm Hg with IOH, and 5 +/- 4 mm Hg and 7 +/- 6 mm Hg with IOV (P less than 0.001). The LVDP increased 6 +/- 5.0 mm Hg with H76 but only 0.2 +/- 0.5 mm Hg with IOP, 0.2 +/- 0.3 mm Hg with IOH, and 0.5 +/- 1.0 mm Hg with IOV (P less than 0.001). The LV dp/dt decreased 545 +/- 261 mm Hg/sec with H76 but increased 886 +/- 477 mm Hg/sec with IOP, 910 +/- 96 mm Hg/sec with IOH, and 473 +/- 335 mm Hg/sec with IOV (P less than 0.001). Whereas each nonionic agent produced significantly less hemodynamic abnormalities than H76, there was no significant difference between any of the nonionic agents on any hemodynamic parameter. Thus, as compared to H76, these nonionic contrast media produced only trivial alterations in hemodynamics and LV dp/dt. These agents may be preferable in patients with LV dysfunction.
