these results suggest that epinephrine ( 0.1 microgram/kg/min ) will improve stroke volume index and left ventricular stroke work index , as does dobutamine ( 5 micrograms/kg/min ) , however , both agents had a minimal effect on reducing myocardial morphological and biochemical integrity , although catecholamines have detrimental effects on the myocardium in early reperfusion following ischemia .
