[An assessment of the efficacy of Lomir in treating hypertension in patients in the early period after aortocoronary bypass operations].

The authors assessed the efficacy and safety of intravenous lomir used to treat arterial hypertension in 10 coronary patients early after aortocoronary shunting. The following parameters were monitored: systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure, ECG, pressure in the pulmonary artery, blood gases, and minute volume obtained by thermodilution. Intravenous lomir was found to be a highly effective hypotensive agent in patients in the early periods after aortocoronary shunting, well tolerated by the patients, the infusions being easy to monitor and involving virtually no side effects. Lomir improved the coronary bloodstream, virtually did not influence the heart rate, atrioventricular conduction, and pumping function of the heart.
