Effects of Fenoldopam Mesylate on Systemic Hemodynamics and Indices of Renal Function in Normotensive Neonatal Foals

Abstract

These data suggest that high-dosage fenoldopam increases heart rate, decreases arterial blood pressure, and has no significant effects on renal function, whereas low-dosage fenoldopam has no significant effects on systemic hemodynamics while increasing urine output. This contrast is unique to this species and warrants further investigation.
