Abstract
Isopaque Coronar, a radiopaque agent, was given (10,000 injections) to 2028 patients during angiocardiographic studies done over a 3 yr period. With 2 exceptions, all complications occurred during right coronary artery injection. Seven cases of ventricular fibrillation, and 5 of marked bradycardia/asystole, were associated with injection of the medium. Isopaque Coronar is well tolerated by patients during cardiac examinations. Factors which may help to explain the low complication rate are discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
