The addition of sodium to nonionic contrast media has reduced the incidence of arrhythmias in animal models. The influence on cardiac function and safety of sodium addition to the nonionic contrast medium iohexol (Omnipaque) was studied in a randomized, double-blind trial in patients undergoing cardioangiography. Fifty-nine patients received iohexol 350 mg I/ml with NaCl 28 mmol/l and 58, iohexol only. ECG changes after contrast injections were evaluated with continuous computerized dynamic vectorcardiography (VCG). QRS-vector difference (QRS-vd), which reflects changes in the QRS-complex, was chosen as the main parameter. Both contrast media caused changes in the QRS-complex, but there was no significant difference between the two. No serious arrhythmias were observed. Both contrast media were well tolerated. No beneficial effects from enriching iohexol with sodium were found. VCG was found to be a valuable tool in the study of contrast medium-induced ECG changes.
