摘要
Objectives. This study was performed to assess the utility of inhaled nitric oxide as a selective pulmonary vasodilator in patients with severe chronic heart failure and to compare its hemodynamic effects with those of nitroprusside, a nonselective vasodilator. Background. Preoperative pulmonary vascular resistance is a predictor of right heart failure after heart transplantation. Nonselective vasodilators administered preoperatively to assess the reversibility of pulmonary vasoconstriction cause systemic hypotension, limiting their utility. Methods. Systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic measure ments were made at baseline, during oxygen inhalation and with the addition of graded doses of inhaled nitric oxide or intravenous nitroprusside in 16 patients with New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure referred for heart transplantation, Results. Pulmonary vascular resistance decreased to a greater extent with 80 ppm nitric oxide (mean +/- SEM 256 +/- 41 to 139 +/-14 dynes.s.cm(-5)) than with the maximally tolerated dose of nitroprusside (264 +/- 49 to 169 +/- 30 dynes.s.cm(-5), p < 0.05, nitric oxide vs. nitroprusside). Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure increased with 80 ppm nitric oxide (26 +/- 2 to 32 +/- 2 mm Hg, p < 0.05). Mean arterial pressure did not change with nitric oxide but decreased with nitroprusside. Seven of the 16 patients, including 1 patient who did not have an adequate decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance with nitroprusside but did with nitric oxide, have undergone successful heart transplantation. Conclusions. Inhaled nitric oxide is a selective pulmonary vasodilator in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to left heart failure and may identify patients with reversible pulmonary vasoconstriction in whom agents such as nitroprusside cause systemic hypotension. Inhaled nitric oxide causes an increase in left ventricular filling pressure by an unknown mechanism.
