Abstract

Ketanserin, which preferentially blocks 5-HT2-serotonergic receptors, was injected intravenously (i.v.) to patients with congestive heart failure in a bolus dose of 10 mg, followed by an i.v. infusion of 3 mg/h over a period of 4 h. The drug caused a decrease in total peripheral resistance and, conversely, an increase in stroke volume. Right atrial and pulmonary artery pressures were decreased. ...
