Implication

Isopropylnorepinephrine may aid hemodynamics in complete heart block; leaves open confirmation in controlled trials.

Key Points

To assess cardiac and hemodynamic functions in patients with complete heart block and evaluate the impact of isopropylnorepinephrine.
Evaluated 8 patients with complete heart block via cardiac catheterization to measure hemodynamic functions.
Monitored changes over several years in the same subjects, focusing on impacts of congestive heart failure and isopropylnorepinephrine administration.
Documented significant impairment in cardiac and hemodynamic functions in asymptomatic individuals with complete heart block.
Observed deleterious effects due to congestive heart failure over time.
Noted improvements in hemodynamic functions towards normal levels after isopropylnorepinephrine administration.
