Abstract
Stunning and cumulative ischemic dysfunction occur in the left ventricle with coronary balloon occlusion. Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 protects the left ventricle against this dysfunction. This study used a conductance catheter method to evaluate whether the right ventricle (RV) developed similar dysfunction during right coronary artery balloon occlusion and whether GLP-1 was protective. In this study, the RV underwent significant stunning and cumulative ischemic dysfunction with right coronary artery balloon occlusion. However,GLP-1 did not protect the RV against this dysfunction when infused after balloon occlusion.
