Why the study?

Does nitroprusside improve hemodynamic parameters in patients with remote myocardial infarction?

Structured PICO

Does nitroprusside improve hemodynamic parameters in patients with remote myocardial infarction?

Population

20 patients with remote myocardial infarction

Intervention

Nitroprusside starting at 10 micrograms/min, with increments of 10 micrograms/min every 5 minutes until systolic blood pressure was reduced to about 30 mmHg

Outcome

Hemodynamic effects, especially venous flow velocity of the inferior vena cava (IVC)surrogate

Nitroprusside improves left ventricular pumping function most effectively in patients with depressed baseline cardiac performance and high systemic vascular resistance.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Nitroprusside may aid acute hemodynamics in remote MI with low output; leaves open controlled outcome trials before practice change.
