| Popis: | The goal of this study was to assess the effect of gallopamil on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function early after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Gallopamil was compared with placebo and atenolol in two different groups of patients. Study patients, 2 days after experiencing their first AMI, in Killip class I and stable sinus rhythm, were randomized in a crossover, double-blind sequence to receive (a) gallopamil (50 micrograms/kg over 5 min) or placebo (i.v. 10-ml bolus, with a time interval of 90 min); and (b) gallopamil (50 micrograms/kg over 5 min) or atenolol (5 mg over 5 min), with a time interval of 24 h. Group I and group II consisted of 28 patients (26 men and 2 women; mean age 55 +/- 9 years) and of 14 patients (13 men and 1 woman; mean age 56 +/- 10 years), respectively. All the patients were treated with thrombolysis within 6 h from the onset of symptoms. Doppler echocardiographic examinations were performed as follows: at baseline (B) and 15 min after administration of gallopamil bolus and placebo bolus, in group I; at baseline before gallopamil (BG) and atenolol (BA), and 15 min after each bolus in group II. The following echo-Doppler parameters were calculated, at each examination: the early and late transmitral peak velocity ratio (E/A), the early and late velocity integral ratio (Ei/Ai), the peak filling rate normalized to mitral stroke volume (nMPFR), and the LV isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT), which was normalized to an 800-ms R-R cycle length in the patients in group II. Mean blood pressure (MBP) and heart rate (HR) were also measured.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
