Key result
Isoproterenol increased cardiac output and reduced left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure in most forms of heart disease, and was useful in treating circulatory failure.
Why the study?
Does isoproterenol improve cardiac output and reduce left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure in patients with heart disease?
Population
Patients with heart disease, circulatory failure, congestive failure, or postoperative low output state

May support isoproterenol for acute circulatory failure except severe CAD or AS; leaves open contemporary randomized validation.
Does isoproterenol improve cardiac output and reduce left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure in patients with heart disease?
Isoproterenol improves hemodynamics in various forms of heart disease and is useful in treating circulatory failure, bradycardia, or hypotension.
W ELLIOTT (1966) studied Heart disease and circulatory failure. Isoproterenol was evaluated on Cardiac output and left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Isoproterenol increased cardiac output and reduced left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure in most forms of heart disease, and was useful in treating circulatory failure.
