  • Title: [Dopamine in the treatment of coronary shock].
    Author: Zimin IuV, Kuznetsova GV, Evdokimov VV.
    Journal: Kardiologiia; 1979 May; 19(5):34-9. PubMed ID: 459209.
    Abstract:
    The results of the use of a potent inotropic agent dopamine in the treatment of 12 patients with acute myocardial infarction in a state of severe shock are discussed. It is shown that dopamine may prove effective in some patients because its administration by intravenous drip is followed by an increase and stabilization of arterial pressure and mitigation of the manifestations of cardiac insufficiency. In the small group of patients discussed, three recovered from severe shock. From analysis of the material with authors assume that the clinical effect of dopamine is linked with its property of causing a favourable effect on organ blood circulation.
