Studies on the Changes of Serum Osmolality Electrolytes, Digoxin-like Substance and Plasma Renin Activity Following Angiocardiography using Hypertonic Contrast Media.

Angiocardiography and cineangiocardiography have been employed with increasing frequency for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. These commonplace technics of cardiovascular radiology depend upon the rapid injection of hypertonic contrast media into the heart or central circulation. In order to study the effects of concentrated radiopaque materials(Conray®, 1382 mOsm/L, 1-2 ml/ kg) on hemodynamic consequences, the changes of serum osmolality, sodium, potassium, chloride, digoxin-like substance and...
