[Tropaphen in experimental drug therapy of cor pulmonale].

The influence of alpha-adrenoblocking drug tropaphen on cardio- and haemodynamics under experimental lung-heart failure was studied in dogs. The findings suggest effectiveness of tropaphen administration in such pathology shown by a decrease of lung hypertension and heart overload, significant increase of the contractile activity and relaxation properties of myocardium of both ventricles and in cardiac pump function optimization.
