EFFECT OF AWTONONIC BLOCKADE ON DOPPLERINDICES OF DIASTOLIC FILLING Gary D. Plotnick, M.D., F.A.C.C., John S. Cottdienet,
Previ rly tre locity (A), and i8ovolumic relaxation (IRT) in response to chaqes in loading conditions. To assessthe influence of autonomic reflexes, 2-D and Doppler echophonocardiogaphy was performed in 8 normal rubjects before and during autonomic blockade (propranolal 0.2 u&kg IV nd atropine 0.04 q/kg IV) in the supine (SUP), passive upright 80° tilt (TILT), and passive leg raised (ELEV) positions and during supine isometric exsrcise (ISO). Heart rat8 (RR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and left ventriculer end-diastolic dimension (EDD) were obtained. Supine values are given below. *P

With TILT: Autonomic blockade did not alter the decrease in EDD, E, A and E/A or the increase in IRT despite blocking the increase in RR. With ELEV: autonomic block8g8 was associated with increase in EDD and h not seen before blockade. With ISO: autonomic blockade blocked the increase in RR, SBP, and IRT but did not alter the decrease in E and E/A, We conclude autonomic blockade significantly modifies both hemodynamic response and Doppler indices of diastolic filling and may allow better understanding of the relationship of loading conditions and Doppler diastolic indices.
