TO INOTROPE OR NOT TO INOTROPE?

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019
Restrictive cardiomyopathy represents a subtype of systemic or idiopathic diseases that leads to diastolic dysfunction. The use of inotropes in this setting is controversial. 57 yo M, PMH of CKD, HIV (controlled on HAART), sick sinus syndrome s/p dual-chamber pacemaker, mitral valve prolapse s ...

Positive inotropic stimulation

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2002
Adrenergic receptors transduce signals through the G proteins to regulate cardiac function. The catecholamines, via alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) stimulation, may play a role in the development of heart failure. Norepinephrine and isoproterenol can induce cardiac myocyte apoptosis.

A Guide to the Use of Vasopressors and Inotropes for Patients in Shock

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine
Shock is a life-threatening circulatory failure that results in inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation. Vasopressors and inotropes are vasoactive medications that are vital in increasing systemic vascular resistance and cardiac contractility ...

Primary intra-aortic balloon support versus inotropes for decompensated heart failure and low output: a randomised trial.

EuroIntervention, 2019
AIMS The haemodynamic effects of primary implantation of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) versus inotropes in decompensated heart failure and low output (DHF-LO), but without an acute coronary syndrome, have not been investigated.

Pressors and Inotropes

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2014
To effectively treat an aging and increasingly complex patient population, emergency physicians and other acute-care providers must be comfortable with the use of vasopressors, inotropes, and chronotropes. These medicines are used to augment the cardiovascular function of critically ill patients.

Inotropic agents.

New horizons (Baltimore, Md.), 1994
When fluid administration is not sufficient to restore hemodynamic stability, inotropic agents may be given to restore the tissue perfusion pressure and to increase oxygen delivery (DO2) to the cells. Dopamine remains the drug of choice in the resuscitation of septic shock but norepinephrine can also have a place in the treatment of profound ...

Inotropic Effects of Ranitidine

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1990
The purpose of this controlled study was to study the effect of cimetidine and ranitidine on the myocardium of 8 healthy male volunteers using systolic time intervals. Ranitidine caused a significant decrease in the QS2I, as from 40 min indicating a positive inotropic effect. There were no significant changes in heart-rate or blood-pressure.

Effects of Inotropes on the Mortality in Patients With Septic Shock

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2019
Background: Although surviving sepsis campaign guidelines recommend the use of inotropes in the presence of myocardial dysfunction, the effects of inotropes, including epinephrine, dobutamine, and milrinone, on in-hospital mortality in patients with ...

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients requiring prolonged inotropes after left ventricular assist device implantation.

Artificial Organs, 2020
BACKGROUND Limited data exists regarding patients with continuous flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support who require long-term inotropes.

Positive inotropes

2018
Inotropic agents are substances used to improve cardiac output and end-organ perfusion in severe forms of acute heart failure. However, inappropriate use of inotropic agents may be associated with severe adverse effects and death. Despite clear indications to restrict their use to acute heart failure patients presenting with signs of end-organ ...
