Objective: Hemodynamic changes may occur with the rapid intravenous injection of contrast media due to the osmolality of contrast media. This study is aimed to evaluate the blood pressure variation during the administration of intravascular contrast media in contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the abdomen.Methods: The study was performed in 146 subjects, who underwent abdomen CT scan with 64-slice Philips Brilliance CT scanner in the department of radio-diagnosis and imaging. Using convenience sampling technique, 73 subjects who were referred for CECT abdomen scan and another 73 subjects who were referred for non-CECT (NCECT) abdomen scan were included in the study. Among the CECT group, intravascular contrast media was injected into the patient during the scan. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were recorded just before and immediately after the scan in CECT and NCECT groups, by two readers independently. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure for both groups was calculated with standard deviation. The data were analyzed using repeated measures of ANOVA.Results: Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures increased with the injection of contrast media among CECT scan group. No significant changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were found before and after the scan of NCECT group.Conclusion: An increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressures is associated with the intravascular administration of non-ionic low-osmolar contrast media.

Objective of this study was to determine the effect of prayer on pre-hemodialysis blood pressure of CRF patients in the hemodialysis room of the Jakarta Islamic Hospital. Data collection was done through purposive sampling. This study examined 32 respondents. The results of the study indicated there was a decrease in blood pressure in the intervention and control groups before and after giving prayers on systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The results of the paired t-test before and after being given prayers in the intervention and control groups produced a sig value of <0.05 in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which means that there were differences before and after giving prayers. The unpaired t-test results in the intervention and control groups of systolic blood pressure produced a sig value> 0.05, which means that there was no difference between the intervention and control group. On the contrary, diastolic blood pressure produced a sig value <0.05, which means that there were differences between the intervention and control group. Finally, it can be concluded that the provision of a prayer intervention in pre-hemodialysis was effectively proven to reduce blood pressure.

Endothelin 3

Pressor actions of endothelin 3 (ET3) were examined in pithed Sprague–Dawley (SD), Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), and spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats before and after the administration of the calcium channel antagonist, nifedipine. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were recorded via an intra-arterial catheter from sodium pentobarbital anaesthized rats prior to pithing. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures recorded from SH rats were significantly greater than those of SD and WKY rats; however, after pithing there were no significant differences between the diastolic blood pressures among the various strains. Administration of nifedipine significantly reduced the diastolic blood pressure of pithed rats to an equal extent in all three strains. The infusion of ET3 produced a dose-dependent increase in diastolic blood pressure of SD, WKY, and SH rats, but neither vascular sensitivity nor reactivity to ET3 was altered in SH rats. Nifedipine was more effective at inhibiting the vasoactive actions of ET3 in SD and WKY than in SH rats. It was therefore concluded that the pressor actions of ET3 in SH rats may be less dependent on the influx of calcium through a dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channel as compared with WKY and SD rats.Key words: endothelin 3, calcium antagonist, diastolic blood pressure, spontaneously hypertensive, pithed rats.
