The relation between radionuclide angiography and Doppler echocardiography during contractile changes with infusions of epinephrine.

Abstract:

:To define the quantitative relations between radionuclide and Doppler measures of systole during sympathetic activation with epinephrine, 10 young normal men were studied with simultaneous radionuclide angiography and M-mode and Doppler echocardiography during graded infusions of epinephrine (10, 25 and 50 ng/kg/min for 12 minutes each). During a nine-fold increase in circulating levels of epinephrine in arterialized plasma (94 +/- 59 to 879 +/- 310 pg/ml, P less than 0.001), the heart rate increased from 58 +/- 8 to 73 +/- 7 beats/min (P less than 0.01), whereas the mean arterial pressure fell from 82 +/- 3 to 75 +/- 6 mmHg (NS) and end-systolic wall stress decreased from 97 +/- 6 to 67 +/- 10 dynes/sec (P less than 0.01). The ejection fraction as estimated using radionuclide techniques increased from 68 +/- 6 to 83 +/- 6%, the peak ejection rate measured in this way increased from -3.36 +/- 0.3 to -5.10 +/- 0.5 end-diastolic volumes/sec, the ejection fraction as estimated with M-mode echocardiography increased from 66 +/- 5 to 83 +/- 5%, the echocardiographic ventricular dimension shortening increased from -1.78 +/- 0.2 to -2.7 +/- 0.4 sec-1, the peak aortic outflow velocity as measured with Doppler techniques increased from 98 +/- 13 to 147 +/- 25 cm/sec, and the aortic outflow acceleration velocity increased from 11 +/- 3 to 27 +/- 7 m/sec2 (all P less than 0.001). There was a significant correlation between the changes in radionuclide and M-mode estimations of ejection fractions (r = 0.82), between the radionuclide peak ejection rate and M-mode peak dimension shortening (r = 0.80) and between the radionuclide peak ejection rate and the Doppler peak aortic outflow velocity (r = 0.90) (all P less than 0.01). We conclude that corresponding radionuclide and Doppler echocardiographic measurements of systolic function are altered similarly during increased sympathetic activation with epinephrine.
