Insights
Intrapericardial administration of cardioactive drugs likely utilizes lymph vessels for myocardial transfer. This method may offer more intensive and faster cardiac effects compared to systemic application.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Physiology
- Pharmacology
Abstract:
Intrapericardially supplied agents for instance cardioactive drugs were transferred via lymph vessels in the myocardium likely. In case of dye application the myocardium and also the cardiac valves were coloured additionally. The effect on the heart should be more intensive and faster than after systemic application.
