A study aimed at evaluating an effect of amrinone of blood circulation dynamics (cardiac output), using impedance ++rheography. The study involved patients with acute, congestive cardiac failure (NYHA III-IV degrees). Cardiac output was measured prior to and 3 and 24 hours following amrinone administration. A favourable effect of a 24-hour i.v. infusion of amrinone on blood circulation dynamics was confirmed. The drug proved to be proarrhythmic.
