  • Title: Haemodynamic effects of Isodinit (isosorbide dinitrate) in acute myocardial infarction.
    Author: Daskalov TR, Malamov E.
    Journal: Cor Vasa; 1985; 27(1):11-22. PubMed ID: 3995991.
    Abstract:
    In 26 patients with acute transmural myocardial infarction, the authors studied the effect of sublingual Isodinit (isosorbide dinitrate) on haemodynamic indicators: in 12 patients on heart rate, pulmonary and peripheral arterial pressure, in 14 (of whom 6 with normal and 8 with elevated diastolic pulmonary pressure) moreover on cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. The results showed a decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure by 35%, in peripheral arterial pressure by 10-14%, and a slighter fall in peripheral vascular resistance; the heart rate did not substantially change. In patients with normal diastolic pulmonary artery pressure, the cardiac and stroke index and the stroke work index decreased, whereas in patients with elevated pulmonary pressure these indicators did not significantly change. The effect of sublingual Isodinit occurs 5-7 min after its administration and reaches its maximum between the 15th--45th min; after 2 hrs the effect ceases. The preparation is suitable for the treatment of congestive heart failure in acute myocardial infarction.
