Background In isolated mammalian cardiomyocytes, papillary muscle preparations, and ejecting hearts, nitric oxide (NO) or other cyclic GMP-elevating interventions increase diastolic cell length and reduce peak contractile performance by hastening onset of myocardial relaxation. In the present study, the effect of NO on left ventricular (LV) relaxation and diastolic distensibility was investigated in humans.Methods and Results The NO donor substance sodium nitroprusside was infused during cardiac catheterization in the global coronary bed of the LV of patients (n=13) investigated for chest pain who were without evidence of obstructive coronary artery or other cardiac disease. Sodium nitroprusside was infused intracoronarily at a dosage (less than or equal to 4 mu g/min) that was previously shown to be devoid of systemic effects when infused into the brachial artery to investigate the reactivity of the forearm vascular bed. The effect of this global intracoronary infusion of the NO donor sodium nitroprusside was assessed by sequential LV angiograms and tip-micromanometer pressure recordings. During global intracoronary nitroprusside infusion, there was a decrease in heart rate from 78+/-11 to 76+/-12 beats per minute (P
