[The current possibilities for the pharmacological regulation of myocardial metabolism in experimental catecholamine-induced necroses].

Catecholamine-induced myocardial necroses have their own peculiarities but the disorders in myocardial metabolism occurring in them do not differ in quality from those encountered in necroses caused by occlusion of the coronaries. Pharmacological regulation of the metabolism of a myocardium damaged by catecholamines may be accomplished by the same drugs which are used in necroses caused by coronary occlusion, but agents with antihypoxic and antioxidant activity are preferable.
