Abstract:
Object To study the effects of astragaloside Ⅳ, which was obtained from Astragalus membranaceus Bge., on myocardiac dynamics and cardiac function on normal and cardiac depressant rat Methods Left ventricular pressure (LVP) and differential value of dp/dt were recorded by left ventricular catherization to observe the effect of 1 mg/kg iv astragaloside Ⅳ on normal and cardiac depressant rat induced by iv 0 75 mg/kg of Propanolol Results Astragaloside Ⅳ decreased heart rate slightly, and showed inotropic activity by increasing dp/dt max significantly, with improvement of cardiac diastolic function It shortened the time constant (T) and caused no obvious change on the tension time index (TTI) in normal rat These results suggested that astragaloside Ⅳ did not increase cardiac oxygen consumption while exerting its inotropic effect Conclusion Astragaloside Ⅳ can improve both cardiac systolic and diastolic functions, and may be used as a candidate for the treatment of cardiac disfunction
