The negative inotropic and chronotropic effects of intravenous R 56865 during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the potential anti-ischaemic activity of R 56865 in patients with coronary artery disease, scheduled to undergo percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). At baseline a complete haemodynamic profile, including cardiac output and coronary sinus blood flow (CSBF) was obtained. In addition, left ventricular pressure and contractility parameters were measured. These parameters were also measured before and after additional balloon inflations, preceded by placebo and R 56865 i.v. R 56865 was infused intravenously at three different dosages, namely: 20 mg (n = 8), 30 mg (n = 2), 40 mg (n = 2). No significant differences were observed between placebo and R 56865 (20 mg) concerning time to onset and duration of ST-segment changes and symptomatic angina pectoris, respectively. The other parameters did not show differences compared with the baseline values when R 56865 (20 and 30 mg) was infused. However, the two patients receiving a dose of 40 mg R 56865 developed a dramatic decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure, peak positive dP/dt and the CSBF (ranging from 30-50%), while the LV end-diastolic pressure increased by 100%. The two patients who received this dose became pale and cyanotic and did not respond to verbal commands. In summary, no anti-ischaemic effects of R 56865 were observed under these conditions, whereas at the highest dose (40 mg) R 56865 induced hypotension and a reduction in cardiac contractile force.
