This study was performed to evaluate echocardiographic parameters in dogs with experimental mitral regurgitation subjected to dobutamine stress testing. In 8 beagle dogs, a 4-prong grasping forceps was inserted into the left ventricle through the carotid artery with fluoroscopic guidance. The disruption of chordae or mitral valve leaflet was performed. Echocardiographic protocols included quantitative Doppler echocardiography and M-mode measurement for evaluating left ventricle function. After all measurement was obtained at rest, dobutamine was infused incrementally. In stress testing, all measurement also was performed at rest as the same method. In stress Doppler echocardiography, regurgitant fraction and aortic stroke volume was increased significantly (P<0.001). Effective regurgitant orifice and regurgitant volume was not changed. In M-mode examination, fractional shortening was increased significantly at stress test (P<0.001). From the results obtained in this study, it could be suggested that dobutamine stress echocardiography increase left ventricle performance in non-functional mitral regurgitation and quantitative Doppler echocardiography is non-invasive, accurate method in valvular regurgitation.

심근관류 스캔에서 약제부하 검사에 많이 이용되는 것으로는 adenosine, dipyridamole, dobutamine등이 있다. 이 약제들이 혈역학 및 thallium의 약동학에 미치는 효과를 검사하기 위하여 저자들은 15명의 건강인을 대상으로 이들 약제를 정맥주사한 후에와 그리고 운동부하를 시행한 후에 thallium-201 신근관류 스캔을 시행하여 thallium의 약동학에 미치는 영향에 대하여 서로 비교하였다. 부작용은 adenosine (87%), dipyridamole(80%), dobutamine (73%)을 정맥주사할 시에 흔히 나타났으나 경미하였다. 1예에서는 dobutamine을 주사할때의 부작용으로 인하여 최대용량을 투여하지는 못한바 있었다. 대상들은 dipyridamole (13%)이나 dobutamine (27%)보다 adenosine (60%)을 선호하였다 (P<0.05). Thallium의 절대 적인 심근섭취는 운동부하 검사보다 adenosine (1.3배), dipyridamole(1.2배), dobutamine(1.4배) 부하시에 더 많았고, 이들 약제 사이에는 유의한 차이는 없었다. Thallium의 심근제거율(%/hr)는 운동부하 검사보다 약제부하한 후에가 더 늦었다. 폐, 간, 비장, 및 내장지역에서 thallium의 섭취 및 제거는 운동부하 검사보다 약제부하시에 더 많았으나, 이들 약제 사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. Dobutamine 투여시의 thallium의 섭취 및 제거는 adenosine 또는 dipyridamole을 투여시의 결과와 상응하였다. 저자들은 adenosine, dipyridamole 및 dobutamine을 이용한 약제부하 thallium-201 심근관류 검사를 시행하는데 코든 대상들에서 어려움 없이 쉽게 시행할 수 있었다. Thallium의 심근내 섭취 및 제거는 각 약제부하에 따라서 다를 수가 있으므로 심근관류 스캔의 정량적인 분석을 시행할 때는 각각 약제에 대한 특별한 진단기준이 마련되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

A 9-years old spayed female Maltese was referred for the treatment of mass on the right 1^st mammary gland and acute weight bearing lameness of right hindlimb. It was diagnosed as malignant mammary tumor and cranial cruciate ligament rupture of right stifle joint. Right upper regional mastectomy followed by cranial closing wedge osteotomy (CCWO) of the right tibia were planned for the present problems. Preanesthetic work-up did not show any remarkable abnormalities. Forty-five minutes after induction of anesthesia dobutamine was administered at a rate of 5 ㎍/kg/min by constant rate infusion due to gradual decrease of blood pressure below MAP 60 mmHg during surgical procedure. Despite of the increase of dobutamine infusion rate up to 20 ㎍/kg/min, blood pressure didn't recover. At the end of regional mastectomy generalized skin redness and eyelid edema were identified. Anesthesia was stopped and CCWO procedure was cancelled. To recover from the anaphylactic reactions dexamethasone and diphenhydramine were administered. After about one hour, the patient completely recovered from hypotension and anaphylactic reactions. After 4 weeks, intradermal skin test (IDST) was performed for all the drugs used during anesthesia. Only dobutamine showed positive reaction in IDST. Therefore, dobutamine was considered as the causative agent of anaphylaxis in this patient during the anesthesia. In case of perioperative anaphylactic reaction, postoperative investigation should be performed to identify causative agent and to provide safe recommendations for future anesthetic procedure.

A 13-year-old, castrated male, Shih Tzu dog with a history of acute ataxia was referred to veterinary medical teaching hospital and anesthetized for diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging of cervical intervertebral disk disease. After preanesthetic evaluation including physical examination, blood chemistry, radiography and ultrasound, the patient was premedicated with intravenous butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg). Anesthesia was induced by intravenous propofol (6 mg/kg) and maintained with isoflurane at 1.2 minimal alveolar concentrations. Because the mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased from 70 to 58 mmHg at 70 minutes after induction, dobutamine was administered by constant rate infusion ($5{\mu}g/kg/min$) to treat hypotension. However MAP did not increase, and heart rate rapidly decreased from 100 to 55 beats per minute (bpm). To treat bradycardia, intravenous glycopyrrolate ($5{\mu}g/kg$) was administered, and heart rate increased to 165 bpm. After extubation of endotracheal tube, the patient showed normal recovery without any problems related to cardiovascular system. Unexpected dobutamine-induced bradycardia was considered as Bezold-Jarisch reflex. It is recommended that clinicians know and prepare the possibility of bradycardia during dobutamine therapy under general anesthesia.

BACKGROUND: Dobutamine and adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is relatively contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe aortic valve stenosis (AS). We aimed to determine the safety of dobutamine and adenosine stress CMR in patients with moderate to severe AS. METHODS: In this retrospective study patients with AS who underwent either dobutamine or adenosine stress CMR for exclusion of obstructive coronary artery disease were enrolled. We recorded clinical data, CMR and echocardiography findings, and complications as well as minor symptoms. Patients with AS were compared to matched individuals without AS. RESULTS: A total of 187 patients with AS were identified and compared to age-, gender- and body mass index-matched 187 patients without AS. No severe complications were reported in the study nor the control group. The reported frequency of non-severe complications and minor symptoms were similar between the study and the control groups. Nineteen patients with AS experienced non-severe complications or minor symptoms during dobutamine stress CMR compared to eighteen patients without AS (p = 0.855). One patient with AS and two patients without AS undergoing adenosine stress CMR experienced minor symptoms (p = 0.562). Four examinations were aborted because of chest pain, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and third-degree atrioventricular block. Inducible ischaemia, prior coronary artery bypass grafting, prior stroke and age were associated with a higher incidence of complications and minor symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Moderate to severe AS was not associated with complications during CMR stress test. The incidence of non-severe complications and minor symptoms was greater with dobutamine.

Two 6'-substituted dobutamine analogues (1, 2) were synthesized from the coupling reaction of dopamine with the corresponding ketones. The ketone (8) was obtained from 4-nitrosalicyladehyde via 6 synthetic steps while the ketone (12) was prepared from 2-methyl-5-nitrobenzoic acid via 7 synthetic steps. Another synthetic attempts were also reported.

Two different types of chemical manipulations of dobutamine were investigated in order to develop novel, improved cardiotonic drugs. Three new analogues of carbostyril, in which the m-hydroxy group of dobutamine was isosterically modified with an amide type carbostyril system, were synthesized from, ${\rho}-methoxyphenethylamine$ via multi-steps. Two analogues of (2'-aminoethyl)-1-hydroxy-2-pyridone system which has isosteric structural similarity with dopamine without having the COMT vulnerable m-hydroxy group were synthesized via 12 synthetic steps. Their biological stabilities in various media and inotropic activities were evaluated.

This study was investigated the effects of imipramine (IMI) and electroconvulsive shock (ECS), which are used as antidepressant therapy, on the central $\beta_1$or $\beta_2$ adrenergic receptor in anesthetized rats. The resting blood pressure and heart rate decreased in reserpinized group (5 mg/kg i. p., 24 hr before), but not in order 4 groups i. e. acute IMI (20 mg/kg i. p.. 3-5 hr before), chronic IMI (Same dose, twice a day for 14 days), siggle ECS (sinusoidal 20 Hz, 120 V for 2 sec) and repeated ECS (same condition, daily for 12 days). The increase of heart rate and hypotension evoked by 1 or 3 $\mu$g intracerebroventricular (i. c. v.) administration of (+) dobutamine, $\beta_2$-agonist, 1 or 3 $\mu$g i. c. v. was significantly attenuated in repeated ECS or reserpine treatment. And, the diminuation of pulse pressure of salbutamol also reduced by repeated ECS. These results suggest that IMI or ECS result in attenuation on tachycardia by (+) dobutamine or on hypotension by salbutamol, presumably by which the central $\beta_1$ or $\beta_2$receptor sensitivity may be suppressed, repectively.
