Inhaled nitric oxide in cardiology

Abstract: Inhaled nitric oxide (INO) allows selective pulmonary vasodilatation with rapidity of action. It is effective in the acute management of reversible pulmonary hypertension in cardiac medical and surgical patients and is also useful in assessing the pulmonary vasodilator capacity in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension. This review will examine the role of INO in the management of cardiac patients, compared to alternatives where available. The use of INO in cardiac failure, post-operative cardiac patient… Show more

“…Of interest, selective pulmonary vasodilatation by inhaled NO has been demonstrated as a good pharmacological strategy to reduce PH without systemic vasodilatation in humans. [25][26][27] In animals and humans, the PH induced by heparin-protamine is accompanied by systemic hypotension, which may be associated with transient increases in HR and a decrease in the CI. The mechanisms by which these haemodynamic alterations take place are largely unknown, but previous studies suggest that the responses reflect acute right ventricular failure.…”

“…17 The efficacy of iNO in the treatment of PH after cardiac surgery for CHD has been demonstrated. [18][19][20] Different from the systemic vasodilation of milrinone, inhaled NO mainly dilates pulmonary blood vessels. 2,3 NO is a powerful pulmonary vasodilator that relaxes pulmonary vascular smooth muscle by activating guanylate cyclase, overcoming the shortcomings of most traditional venous vasodilators, such as systemic hypotension and increased intrapulmonary shunt.…”

“…A vasodilatação pulmonar seletiva com inalação de NO em humanos foi apresentada como uma boa estratégia farmacológica para reduzir a hipertensão pulmonar sem produzir vasodilatação sistêmica Hayward 2001). A inalação de agentes vasodilatadores pode evitar efeitos colaterais sistêmicos e, de fato, estudo recente mostrou que inalação de micropartículas contendo BAY 41 2272, BAY 41 8543 ou BAY 58 2667 produz potente e seletiva vasodilatação pulmonar em cordeiros com hipertensão pulmonar aguda (Evgenov ., 2006)…”
