Hemodynamic effects of arbutamine

Am J Cardiol. 1998 Sep 1;82(5):699-702, A9. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(98)00386-5.

Abstract

This study examined the hemodynamic effects of arbutamine, a synthetic catecholamine, in 12 patients with and 7 patients without coronary artery disease. Arbutamine produced a balanced positive inotropic (increase in left ventricular dp/dt) and chronotropic effect (increase in heart rate).
