To investigate the hemodynamic effects on seven anesthetized dogs with experimentally-induced mitral insufficiency, isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) in sustained release form (EV151) was administered at different dosages (0, 2, 8 and 16 mg/kg). The drug administration resulted in altered pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (preload), and cardiac output and total systemic resistance (afterload). Arterial pressure increased in the control group and in animals receiving 2 mg/kg, but decreased in animals 1-2 hr after receiving 8 and 16 mg/kg dosages. Cardiac output increased in animals receiving 2, 8 and 16 mg/kg dosages, with concomitant decreases in total systemic resistance. ISDN caused mild vasodilation at 2 mg/kg and severe vasodilation at 8 and 16 mg/kg. Future experiments on non-anesthetized dogs may be of benefit.
