Abstract

Long-term (> 48 h) sodium nitroprusside (SNP) infusion significantly reduced cobalamin (vitamin B₁₂) levels in 23 patients treated in a CCU after myocardial infarction. There was no evidence of vitamin B₁₂ deficiency or SNP toxicity. Low vitamin B₁₂ levels should not limit the use of SNP, because prolonged infusion of SNP at maximum doses of 2.5 μg/kg.min did not adversely affect hemodynamic stability.
