Implication

Hand blood flow changes may track sympathetic tone in acute MI with LV failure; leaves open whether this aids clinical monitoring.

Structured PICO

Does measurement of hand blood flow correlate with plasma norepinephrine and central hemodynamics in patients with acute myocardial infarction and pulmonary congestion?

P
Population
6 patients with acute myocardial infarction and pulmonary congestion
I
Intervention
Measurement of central hemodynamic parameters, hand blood flow, and plasma norepinephrine repeatedly with 2 to 3 hours' interval during initial treatment
O
Outcome
Correlation between plasma norepinephrine, hand blood flow, central hemodynamics, and clinical conditionsurrogate

Measurement of changes in hand blood flow may be useful for monitoring changes in sympathetic tone in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by left ventricular failure.
