Cardiovascular profile of the calcium sensitizer EMD 57033 in open‐chest anaesthetized pigs with regionally stunned myocardium
Ca2+ sensitizers enhance systolic function, but may impair relaxation in vitro; these effects may differ in stunned and normal myocardium. We therefore studied the effect of EMD 57033 on systolic and diastolic function of normal and stunned porcine myocardium in vivo. Myocardial stunning by 15 min c...

Summary: | Ca2+ sensitizers enhance systolic function, but may impair relaxation in vitro; these effects may differ in stunned and normal myocardium. We therefore studied the effect of EMD 57033 on systolic and diastolic function of normal and stunned porcine myocardium in vivo.
Myocardial stunning by 15 min coronary occlusion and 30 min reperfusion abolished systolic shortening (SS) (baseline 13±1%) and decreased end‐systolic elastance (Ees) from 67±7 to 47±5 mmHg mm−1 (both P |
