Comparative Hemodynamic Effects of Intravenous Digoxin and Enoximone in Severe Chronic Heart Failure

Abstract: In order to compare the acute hemodynamic effects of digoxin (0.01 mg/kg) and enoximone (1 mg/kg), a phosphodiesterase inhibitor inotropic agent, in severe chronic congestive heart failure, 8 patients (male, mean age 56.7 years, sinus rhythm) were investigated with a randomized cross-over study. Peak effect of enoximone (30 min) in comparison to that of digoxin (90 min) resulted in a similar reduction of left-ventricular filling pressure (-27 vs. -28%) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (-23 vs. -24%).
