Sixteen patients (15 males, 1 female; mean age 63 years, range 45-78) with severe heart failure (NYHA class III = 5; class IV = 11) secondary to ischemic heart disease (8), dilated cardiomyopathy (5) and valvular heart disease (3), were evaluated for eligibility to intermittent Dobutamine (D) treatment. As a part of this evaluation, they were submitted to an acute dose-ranging test with D, up to 10 micrograms/Kg/min under hemodynamic and electrocardiographic monitoring. By inclusion criteria, all patients had:-cardiac index (CI) < 2.2 L/min/m2;-pulmonary wedge pressure (WP) > 18 mmHg;-left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) < 30%. At each step of the procedure, hemodynamic measurements and blood sampling for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) concentration were performed.
