Acta Radiologica. Supplementum
|January 1, 1983
Summary
Contrast media effects on heart function during cardioangiography were surveyed. Iohexol demonstrated safety and efficacy across multiple cardiac investigations.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Radiology
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Contrast media are essential for cardiac imaging.
- Understanding their effects on cardiac function is crucial for patient safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To survey the effects of contrast media on cardiac electrical and mechanical function.
- To summarize experiences with iohexol in cardioangiography.
- To present indications for iohexol use.
Main Methods:
- Review of effects on right heart, left heart, and coronary arteries during injection.
- Summary of 10 investigations involving cardioangiography with iohexol.
Main Results:
- Iohexol was evaluated for its impact on cardiac electrical and mechanical function.
- Experiences from 10 studies were compiled.
Conclusions:
- Iohexol appears to be a safe and effective contrast medium for cardioangiography.
- Indications for its use were established based on clinical investigations.
