Used as an inotrope Mechanism of Action
Phosphodiesterase inhibitor
decrease the rate of cyclic AMP degradation
increase in cyclic AMP concentration leads to enhanced calcium influxinto the cell, a rise in cell calcium concentration, and increased
contractility Side Effects
can also cause vasodilatation but tends to have less chronotropy thandobutamine
Onset of action 5-15 minutes

Patients with ST segment elevation MI who have
cardiogenic shock and are less than 75 years of age
should be brought immediately or secondarily transferred
to facilities capable of cardiac catheterization and rapidrevascularization (PCI or CABG) if it can be performed
within 18 hours of onset of shock. (Level of Evidence: A)

Average LVEF is only moderately severely depressed
(30%), with a wide range of EFs and LV sizes noted.
Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) on vasopressors is notelevated on average (~ 1350), with a very wide range of
SVRs measured.
A clinically evident systemic inflammatory response
syndrome is often present in patients with CS.
Most survivors (85%) have NYHA functional Class I-II CHF
status.

Thus, excess nitric oxide and peroxy
nitrites may be a major contributor to
cardiogenic shock complicating MI.
The Overproduction of NitricOxide May Cause Both
Myocardial Depression andInappropriate Vasodilatation.
