[Renal hemodynamics and blood pressure. Intrarenal Doppler evaluation].

Unlabelled: This new technique has been used to evaluate renal hemodynamic pattern because although it is impossible to measure the arterial diameter, the doppler signal is easier to obtain than in the renal artery. In order to define normal patterns we studied 67 untreated patients, with no evidence of acute or chronic disease, using intrarenal doppler ultrasound technique. The mean (SD) systolic, diastolic and mean renal doppler deviation were 2.

Bioequivalence of two pharmaceutical forms of diltiazem.

Diltiazem, a calcium-channel blocking agent, has been shown to be a potent coronary vasodilator used in the treatment of ischaemic heart disease. The present study was conducted to compare the bioavailability of regular 60 mg tablets administered every 6 h with sustained release capsules of 120 mg administered every 12 h. High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis was carried out for determination of diltiazem and one of its metabolites desacetyldiltiazem in six male patients.

Effects of lorcainide and amiodarone on stress-induced myocardial damage in the rat.

This paper is concerned with the effects of Lorcainide (LCN) and Amiodarone (AMD) on stress-induced myocardial lesions in rats. Forty rats were used. The first group (G-1) was used as a control (n = 10) and animals were injected with saline.
