Dopamine infusion for the treatment of myocardial dysfunction associated with a persistent transitional circulation

G I Fiddler et al. Arch Dis Child. 1980 Mar.

Abstract

Four infants with myocardial dysfunction associated with a persistent transitional circulation were given dopamine infusions in addition to standard treatment. The condition of each improved strikingly with rapid diminution in heart size as judged by chest x-ray. Dopamine has a place in the management of the sick infant with a persistent transitional circulation.
