Histamine
|
An endogenous biogenic amine which is synthesized, stored, and released from 1) Mast Cells - abundant in skin, GI tract, and reap tract and will trigger anaphylactic rxn, inflammation, and immune response. 2) Basophils - abundant in the blood. 3) Neurons - of both CNS & PNS
|
|

Distributed in the vascular smooth muscle, cardiac tissue, basophils, and parietal cells
|
|

Pathological effects of histamine
|
mild cutaneous response involves erythema, urticaria, and/or itching.
Mild to moderate Sx: skin rxn, tachy, dysrhythmias, hypotension, mild resp distress severe anaphylactic rxn: hypersensitivity rxn, hypotension, v-fib, cardiac arrest, bronchospasms, resp arrest |
|
histamine vascular effects
|
dilation of small blood vessels (H1 and 2 - reason for hypotension), increased permeability of post capillary venules (H1 - leads to edema)
Triple response from indradermal injection: localized red spot extending 1-2mm appearing within seconds due to vasodilation (inc blood flow), Flare (brighter red flush) develops more slowly, extending 1 cm beyond initial spot due to reflexive vasodilation, and Wheal is discernable in 1-2min at initial site of injection as a result of increased cap permeability (move of fluid and protein both ways). moves from local and propagates out. |
|
Histamine cardiac effects
|
increased isotropy H1 and 2
increased chronotropy H2 Decreased AV conduction H1 - leads to arrhythmias |
|
Histamine Pulmonary effects
