Effects of Vasoactive Drug Use on Hemodynamics in Critical Disease Pediatic Patients

Journal of Pediatric Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine, 2019
Introduction:The fact that critically ill pediatric patients have hemodynamic and metabolic characteristics different from that in adults plays a key role in the selection of vasoactive agent.

Prevention of Low Cardiac Output Syndrome After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Double-Blind Randomized Clinical Pilot Study Comparing Dobutamine and Milrinone*

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2018
Objectives: Dobutamine and milrinone are commonly used after open-heart surgery to prevent or treat low cardiac output syndrome. We sought to compare efficacy and safety of these drugs in pediatric patients.

The spectrum of cardiovascular effects of dobutamine - from healthy subjects to septic shock patients

Revista Brasileira de Terapia Intensiva, 2017
Dobutamine is the inotrope most commonly used in septic shock patients to increase cardiac output and correct hypoperfusion. Although some experimental and clinical studies have shown that dobutamine can improve systemic and regional hemodynamics, other ...

Activation of β-Adrenoceptors by Dobutamine May Induce a Higher Expression of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors δ (PPARδ) in Neonatal Rat Cardiomyocytes

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
Recent evidence showed the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in cardiac function. Cardiac contraction induced by various agents is critical in restoring the activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors δ (PPARδ) in ...

Assessment of cardiovascular physiology using dobutamine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance reveals impaired contractile reserve in patients with cirrhotic cardiomyopathy

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2015
BackgroundLiver cirrhosis has been shown to affect cardiac performance. However cardiac dysfunction may only be revealed under stress conditions. The value of non-invasive stress tests in diagnosing cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is unclear.

Myocardial Feature Tracking Reduces Observer-Dependence in Low-Dose Dobutamine Stress Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

PLoS ONE, 2015
Objectives To determine whether quantitative wall motion assessment by CMR myocardial feature tracking (CMR-FT) would reduce the impact of observer experience as compared to visual analysis in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM).

A Literature Review of the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Dobutamine in Neonates

Pediatric Cardiology, 2015
Since its discovery in 1975 dobutamine has been used off-label for treating hemodynamic insufficiency in newborns and children. We present a structured literature review of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data for dobutamine in the pediatric ...

Evaluation of the anti-ischemic effects of D-ribose during dobutamine stress echocardiography: a pilot study

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2009
D-Ribose, a pentose sugar, has shown to improve myocardial high-energy phosphate stores depleted by ischemia. This study investigated the ability of D-Ribose with low dose dobutamine to improve the contractile response of viable myocardium to dobutamine ...
