Abstract
Propranolol (0.5 mg X kg-1 X 5 min-1), alinidine (1 mg X kg-1 X 5 min-1) and the benzazepinon UL-FS 49 (0.5 mg X kg-1 X 5 min-1) were investigated in a canine model of exercise-induced transient myocardial dysfunction, mimicking exercise-induced functional impairment during angina pectoris in man. Each drug was infused intravenously, after two control treadmill exercise runs had shown comparable, ultrasonically assessed regional contractile dysfunction in an area supplied by a partly stenosed branch of the left coronary artery. All three drugs abolished exercise-induced regional contractile dysfunction. Propranolol and alinidine comparably decreased heart rate and positive dp/dtmax during exercise. UL-FS 49 showed a marked negative chronotropic effect without affecting positive dp/dtmax. Thus, prevention of exercise-induced regional contractile dysfunction has been shown for the first time using a selective bradycardic agent.Entities:
