Inosine applied as a continuous i.v. infusion of 400 mg/kg/h for 20 min had a negative chronotropic and inotropic effect in closed-chest, anesthetized rats. In the presence of adenosine deaminase (ADA, 133 U/kg/h), the reduction in heart rate was abolished indicating that adenosine is responsible for that effect. However, the negative inotropic effect persisted. It was characterized by a 38 and 56% decrease in left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and diastolic aortic pressure, respectively, a 24% decline in LV dp/dtmax and a 16% fall in cardiac output. Total peripheral resistance was diminished by 38%. Inosine in combination with ADA antagonized the noradrenaline-induced positive inotropic effect and the increase in cardiac output. On the other hand, i.v. bolus injection of noradrenaline in rats pretreated with inosine and ADA did not increase blood pressure and total peripheral resistance. Inosine administered in animals pretreated with the beta-receptor blocker metoprolol or with the calcium antagonist verapamil aggravated the negative inotropic effect. Inosine in combination with ADA caused a decline in cardiac output in metoprolol-pretreated rats that was more pronounced than that induced by inosine alone. However, in rats pretreated with verapamil, inosine did not cause a reduction in cardiac output.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Recently the tilting table test (tilting up to 70 degrees angle) has established itself for the diagnosis of neurocardiogenic syncope (NS). Usually patients with bradycardic arrhythmias or asystole are treated by pacemaker implantation. But if the syncope is of neurocardiogenic aetiology other therapeutic alternatives must be chosen. We here report on seven patients in whom a pacemaker had been implanted in the treatment of syncopes, in ignorance of their neurocardiogenic aetiology, yet they had recurred. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Pacemakers had been implanted in eight patients: two with sick sinus syndrome, three with sinus bradycardia, one with brady-tachyarrhythmia, one with asystole and one with Mobitz-type 2 degrees AV block. All patients continued to have syncopes, when sitting or standing, months to years after the pacemaker implantation. The tilting table test (up to 30 min at an angle of 70 degrees) was positive in all patients. There was no case of pacemaker malfunction. RESULTS: One patient declined further treatment. The remaining seven patients were symptom-free in the tilting table test on various medications: theophylline up to 2 x 350 mg, metoprolol up to 2 x 100 mg or disopyramide 3 x 100 mg. CONCLUSION: Patients with syncope while sitting or standing should undergo the tilting table test to determine whether the cause is neurocardiogenic so that pacemaker implantation can be avoided. The majority of patients with NS can be successfully treated by drugs. But in some patients pacemaker implantation may have to considered if drug treatment has failed.

INTRODUCTION: To study the functional and histological alterations in dog kidneys submitted to total ischemia for thirty minutes and the possible metoprolol protective action. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixteen dogs anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (SP) were studied and divided into two groups: G1-8 dogs submitted to left nephrectomy and right renal artery clamping for thirty minutes, and G2-8 dogs submitted to the same procedures of G1 and to the administration of 0.5 mg x kg(-1) metoprolol before ischemia. Attributes of renal function were studied. RESULTS: There was acute tubular necrosis and a decrease of renal blood flow and glomerular filtration, and a increase of renal vascular resistance in both groups. CONCLUSION: The thirty minute renal ischemia appears to have determined the alterations found in the renal function and histology in both groups. Metoprolol, used in G2, as to the time and dose applied didn't protect the kidney from the ischemic episode.
