Popis: After each administered i.v. dose of 2-PAM (5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg body weight) to open chest anesthetized dogs, cardiac output, arterial pressure, stroke volume and stroke work increased while heart rate decreased. Following α-adrenergic blockade, 2-PAM produced changes similar to those of control animals with the exception that heart rate increased at 40 mg/kg. After β-adrenergic blockade, increases in stroke volume, stroke work, total peripheral resistance and arterial pressure occurred with all doses of 2-PAM. Heart rate decreased while cardiac output was maintained or slightly increased. In reserpine-treated animals, arterial pressure, stroke volume, stroke work and total peripheral resistance increased while heart rate decreased. The results of this study suggest that 2-PAM has a direct stimulatory action on the heart and vascular smooth muscle.
