[Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular function after intravenous administration of salbutamol]
Abstract:
Changes in the main parameters of left ventricular function by comparison with the baselines were examined echocardiography in 11 patients after a single i.v. dose of salbutamol. The results suggest that salbutamol certainly has peripheral vascular effects leading to changes in ventricular volumes. The drug also appears to exert a positive intropic action, as shown by the changes it induced in EF and, more particularly VCF values.
