ABSTRACT
This study examined milrinone effects on ischaemic myocardial metabolism and function with calcium blockade. We studied 15 pigs in 3 groups group C received no drugs; group D received diltiazem 5 mg bolus followed by infusion; group D+M received diltiazem and milrinone (50microg/Kg). The left anterior descending (LAD) artery was then occluded for 15 minutes. Left ventricular (LV) function data obtained included rate, pressures, output, Emax, and dP/dT. Blood lactate was obtained from the LAD and circumflex vessels at baseline, end of occlusion, early (15 min) and late (1 hour) reperfusion. In group D+M, less depression of LV function occurred during ischaemia and early reperfusion. Lactate extraction in the LAD region was less negative in D+M group than in the group without milrinone during ischaemia and late reperfusion. We conclude the preemptive administration of milrinone prior to ischaemia added to calcium blockade improved myocardialfunction and ischaemic metabolic effects.
