Effects of amrinone on the contractile behaviour of frog striated muscle fibres

open access: yes, 1985
The effects of amrinone (0.005–2.1 mM) were studied on isolated single muscle fibres of the frog (0.6–4.3 °C). In the concentrations used amrinone potentiated the isometric twitch, increased the initial rate of force development and prolonged the time to

Comparison of Hemodynamic Effects between Dobutamine and Amrinone in the Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension

open access: yes, 1997
BACKGROUND Dobutamine and amrinone, phosphodiesterase-III inhibitor, are known to have both inotropic and vasodilatory properties. We evaluated the effects of both drugs on systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH).

Diminished inotropic response to amrinone in ventricular myocytes from myopathic hamsters is linked to depression of high-gain Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release

open access: yes, 2004
This study investigates whether amrinone (100-1000 μM), a phosphodiesterase-III inhibitor, can alleviate depression of contractions in ventricular myocytes from prefailure cardiomyopathic (CM) hamsters (80-100 days). Cell shortening and ion currents were

Effects of Amrinone on shortening velocity, force development and ATPase activity of demembranated preparations of rat ventricular myocardium.

open access: yes, 1992
This study analyses the effects of Amrinone (bipyridine derivative with phosphodiesterase inhibitor properties) on the myofibrillar apparatus of rat myocardium. Thin trabeculae were isolated from the right ventricle and chemically demembranated.

Effects of amrinone, a cardiotonic drug, on calcium movements in dog erythrocytes.

open access: yes, 1980
Dog erythrocytes (RBC) have a system for passive Ca and Na movements that resembles the Ca-Na exchanger first described in cardiac muscle. Amrinone, a new cardiotonic drug active in humans with congestive heart failure, is shown to stimulate net Ca ...

Effects of amrinone, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, on right ventricular/arterial coupling immediately after cardiac operations

open access: yes, 1998
Objective: Amrinone, a selective phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, is reported to have a potent inotropic effect on the left ventricle, but the effects of this drug on right ventricular contractility in the clinical setting are unknown.

Oral amrinone in refractory congestive heart failure.

open access: yes, 1980
The acute effects of an oral preparation of amrinone, a recently synthesized cardiotonic agent, were assessed noninvasively in nine patients who had advanced heart failure that persisted despite treatment with digitalis, diuretic drugs and afterload ...

Cardiotonic bipyridine amrinone slows myosin-induced actin filament sliding at saturating [MgATP]

open access: yes, 2003
Previously reported effects of amrinone on skeletal muscle function suggest that the drug reduces the rate constant of myosin cross-bridge dissociation.

Home Intermittent Amrinone Infusions in Terminal Congestive Heart Failure

open access: yes, 1989
The prevalence of congestive heart failure (CHF) and its progressive degenerative course continue to generate pressure for alternative, more effective means of treatment. A confluence of factors, including the number of Americans with CHF, the spiraling
