The possible cardioprotective effect of diltiazem during ischemia caused by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was tested. Electrocardiograms and myocardial lactate, hypoxanthine and urate production were determined in 26 patients with a stenosis in the left anterior descending artery without angiographically demonstrable collaterals. Measurements took place before angioplasty, after each of 4 occlusions and 15 minutes after the last balloon inflation. Patients were randomly given placebo or DL-diltiazem (0.4 mg/kg as a bolus intravenously, followed by an infusion of 15 mg/hr). During angioplasty the ST-segment elevation for the anterior wall leads V2, V4 and V6, and the intracoronary lead was similar for both groups, as was lactate release. Diltiazem significantly reduced cardiac hypoxanthine release immediately after angioplasty from 63 to 88% (p less than 0.05). The drug diminished urate production after the last dilatation by 82% (p less than 0.05). In conclusion, intravenous infusion of diltiazem reduced cardiac adenosine triphosphate breakdown during angioplasty as shown by diminished hypoxanthine and urate production. In contrast, diltiazem was unable to attenuate ST-segment elevation and lactate release.
