BACKGROUND: Zatebradine is a new specific bradycardiac agent that selectively slows the depolarization in the pacemaker cells of the sinoatrial node. The purpose of our investigation was to determine whether the tachycardia induced by dobutamine can be attenuated by the administration of zatebradine. The results were compared with those produced by propranolol, which is used in the treatment of sinus tachycardia. METHODS: Twelve pigs were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital, intubated, and ventilated. After baseline hemodynamic measurements were obtained, dobutamine was administered until the heart rate reached 25% above baseline. Animals were randomized to one of two groups. Group I received zatebradine, 0.5 mg/kg i.v., and Group II received propranolol, 0.5 mg/kg i.v. RESULTS: Dobutamine 10 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 increased the heart rate (FIR) by 25%, and increased mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) left ventricular (LV) dp/dt, and cardiac output (CO) (P < 0.05). Zatebradine decreased the HR to baseline (P < 0.05) without affecting left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), LV dP/dt, or CO. Stroke volume (SV) increased significantly (P < 0.05). Propranolol also reduced HR to baseline, but decreased LV dP/dt, LVSP, CO, and SV (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Zatebradine effectively attenuates the tachycardia caused by dobutamine in anesthetized pigs, without reducing cardiac performance. 相似文献

The myocardial concentration of many cardioactive drugs has been identified as an important determinant of their short-term effects in previous studies. Although sotalol is frequently administered via short-term intravenous injection, no previous studies had sought to correlate its uptake by the heart with its various effects. We determined the time course of short-term uptake of d,l-sotalol by human myocardium in vivo and investigated the relation between myocardial content of sotalol and the short-term hemodynamic, electrocardiographic, and electrophysiologic effects of the drug. Sixteen patients received a 20-mg intravenous bolus of sotalol at the time of diagnostic cardiac catheterization. Myocardial content of d- and l-sotalol (by using a paired transcoronary sampling technique) and the short-term hemodynamic and electrophysiologic effects of the drug were determined < or = 20 min after injection. Myocardial accumulation of sotalol was not enantioselective, proceeded very rapidly (maximal at 0.74 +/- 0.10 min, representing 2.05 +/- 0.45% of the total injected dose), and was not significantly influenced by left ventricular systolic function or the extent of coronary artery disease. Approximately one third of peak myocardial content was still present 17.5 min after sotalol administration. Maximal effects of the drug (reduction in spontaneous heart rate, p < 0.005; reduction in maximal rate of LV pressure increase (LV+dP/dtmax, p < 0.005); and prolongation of PR intervals, p < 0.02) were delayed by approximately 10 min relative to maximal myocardial sotalol content. The significant prolongation of AH intervals (p < 0.01) and atrioventricular nodal effective refractory periods (p < 0.0002) that was observed was also maximal 10 min after administration of sotalol. Thus a consistent delay between myocardial sotalol content and the short-term effects of the drug was observed. In conclusion, the accumulation of both d- and l-sotalol by the human myocardium is more rapid than that of any other agent studied to date, with considerable hysteresis between myocardial drug uptake and subsequent cardiac effects. 相似文献

We examined the effects of a novel phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, olprinone, on the cardiohemodynamics and plasma hormones in conscious pigs with pacing-induced heart failure. After pacing for 5-10 days, cardiac output (CO) decreased from 2.25 +/- 0.17 to 1.67 +/- 0.13 L/min (n = 8, p < 0.01) and stroke volume (SV) decreased from 20.1 +/- 2.1 to 12.0 +/- 1.6 ml (n = 8, p < 0.01), whereas left arterial pressure (LAP) increased from 2.8 +/- 1.2 to 16.7 -/+ 0.9 mm Hg (n = 7, p < 0.001) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) increased from 38.7 +/- 3.5 to 49.8 +/- 4.2 mm Hg/L/min (n = 8, p < 0.01). Sequential intravenous infusions of 0.03, 0.3, and 3.0 microg/kg/min of olprinone at 30-min intervals to eight pigs caused dose-dependent increases in the decreased CO, SV, and maximal rate of rise in left ventricular pressure (LV dP/dt(max)) and decreased the elevated LAP and SVR. Olprinone at 3.0 microg/kg/min maximally increased CO, SV, and LV dP/dt(max) by 40.0 +/- 10.8% (p < 0.05 vs. vehicle), 25.6 +/- 6.9% (p < 0.05), and 43.9 +/- 11.2% (p < 0.01), respectively, and brought about a slight increase in heart rate and decreases in LAP and SVR, by 35.9 +/- 7.3% (p < 0.001) and 27.9 +/- 4.8% (p < 0.01), respectively. Olprinone did not affect the rate-pressure product. In addition, olprinone produced significant decreases in the plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and cyclic guanosine monophosphate, with no changes in the plasma levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate and catecholamines or plasma renin activity. These findings indicate that the short-term intravenous infusions of olprinone ameliorated the decreased left ventricular function without affecting myocardial oxygen consumption or the sympathetic nervous system in conscious pigs with heart failure. 相似文献

This study examines whether a catheter mounted left intraventricular balloon may prevent left ventricular (LV) dysfunction following acute experimental myocardial infarction. In 10 anesthetized pigs, multiple coronary arterial ligations were applied around the apex of the heart. LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), aortic flow (AF), and LV long and short axis fractional shortening (FS) were measured before and at 15 min intervals after ligations. At the 60th min after ligation, the LV long axis FS and AF decreased by 7.2 +/- 2.6% (p < 0.05) and 13.25 +/- 2.68% (p < 0.01), respectively, and the LVEDP increased by 4.3 +/- 1.1 mm Hg (p < 0.01) while no change was noted in the LV short axis FS. An intraventricular catheter mounted nonpulsating balloon was positioned over the endocardium of the infarcted area at the LV apex. Inflation of the nonpulsating balloon to an optimal volume, which was found to be equal to 8-10% of the LV end-diastolic volume, resulted in a reduction (by 3.8 +/- 1.2 mm Hg, p < 0.01) of the already increased LVEDP and in an increase (by 6.6 +/- 2.1%, p < 0.05) in the LV short axis FS while no statistically significant change was noted in the AF and LV long axis FS. It is concluded that an intraventricular catheter mounted balloon patch positioned over the endocardium of the infarcted area may ameliorate early LV dysfunction, possibly by interfering with the functional geometry of the LV contraction. 相似文献

To study the effects of batroxobin on coronary circulation and cardiac performance in acute myocardial ischemia, Batroxobin was given intravenously to dogs with experimental coronary stenosis. A dose-dependent increase of coronary blood flow (CBF) was observed. Forty minutes after batroxobin (2 BU.kg-1 at infusion rate 0.1 BU.kg-1.min-1) administration, CBF increased by 12% (P < 0.05), small coronary resistance(RS) decreased from 4.1 +/- 0.5 to 3.2 +/- 0.5 mmHg.min.ml-1 (P < 0.01), while large coronary resistance(RL) changed insignificantly from 3.9 +/- 0.8 to 3.8 +/- 0.7 mmHg.min.ml-1 (P > 0.05). Two hours following drug administration, the changes in CBF, RS and RL still remained and RT decreased by 13% (P < 0.05). The + LV(dp/dt)max and -LV(dp/dt)max increased by 14% and 16% (P < 0.05) respectively compared with those in control group. It is concluded that batroxobin improves the ischemic canine coronary circulation and cardiac performance by way of lowering the small coronary resistance and thus increasing CBF. The data also suggest the benificial effect of batroxobin in acute myocardial ischemia. 相似文献

The combination of quinidine and sotalol is very effective in prevention of recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia (SVT). The cellular mechanisms underlying this efficacy were examined in guinea pig papillary muscle, using standard microelectrode techniques and stimulation frequencies of 1, 2, and 3 Hz. Action potential duration (APD) and effective refractory period (ERP) were measured under control conditions, after 30-min perfusion with quinidine (5 microM) or sotalol (6 microM), and after an additional 30 min of quinidine + sotalol (5 and 6 microM, respectively). Quinidine, sotalol, and quinidine + sotalol all prolonged APD at 90% repolarization (APD90) by 9 +/- 1, 13 +/- 1, and 15 +/- 2%, respectively (at 3 Hz; p = NS, comparison of the three drugs; p < 0.05 for each drug as compared with control). Quinidine + sotalol prolonged ERP (at 3 Hz) by 27 +/- 2% as compared with 11 +/- 2% after sotalol and 18 +/- 2% after quinidine alone (p < 0.05). As a result, the ERP/APD ratio was increased by the combination to 0.87 +/- 0.2 (p < 0.05) as compared with 0.78 +/- 0.2 for control 0.79 +/- 0.1 for sotalol, and 82 +/- 0.1 for quinidine (at 3 Hz). Although sotalol alone decreased the maximum rate of depolarization of phase 0 of the AP (Vmax) by only 3 +/- 2% (p = NS), sotalol attenuated Vmax decrease of quinidine (at 3 Hz) from 40 +/- 4 to 16 +/- 3% (p < 0.05). Effects at 1 and 2 Hz were similar.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Conflicting results have been reported as to the extent that cardiovascular function can be reestablished after rewarming from hypothermia. We measured hemodynamic function, myocardial metabolism and tissue water content in dogs core-cooled to 25 degrees C and later rewarmed. At 25 degrees C left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure (LVSP) was 54% +/- 4%, maximum rate of LV pressure rise (LV dP/dtmax) 44% +/- 5%, aortic pressure (AOP) 50% +/- 6%, heart rate (HR) 40% +/- 0%, cardiac output (CO) 37% +/- 5%, myocardial blood flow (MBF) 34% +/- 5%, and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) 8% +/- 1%, compared to precooling. Stroke volume (SV) and LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were unchanged. As normothermia (37 degrees C) was reestablished, the depression of cardiac function and myocardial metabolism remained the same as that at 25 degrees C: LVSP 71% +/- 6%, LV dP/dtmax 73% +/- 7%, SV 60% +/- 9%, AOP 70% +/- 6%, CO 57% +/- 9%, MBF 53% +/- 8%, and MVO2 44% +/- 8% HR, in contrast, recovered to precooling values. The arterial concentrations of glucose and free fatty acids (FFA) did not change significantly during the experimental period, whereas an increase in lactate of nonmyocardial origin appeared after rewarming. Increased myocardial contents of creatine phosphate and water were found during both hypothermia and rewarming. The present study demonstrates a persistent depression of cardiac function after hypothermia and rewarming in spite of adequate energy stores. Thus, a direct influence on myocardial contractile function by the cooling and rewarming process is suggested. 相似文献

The influence of afterload on the rate of force generation by the myocardium was investigated using two types of preparations: the in situ dog heart (dP/dt) and isolated papillary muscle of rats (dT/dt). Thirteen anesthetized, mechanically ventilated and thoracotomized dogs were submitted to pharmacological autonomic blockade (3.0 mg/kg oxprenolol plus 0.5 mg/kg atropine). A reservoir connected to the left atrium permitted the control of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). A mechanical constriction of the descending thoracic aorta allowed to increase the systolic pressure in two steps of 20 mmHg (conditions H1 and H2) above control values (condition C). After arterial pressure elevations (systolic pressure C: 119 +/- 8.1; H1: 142 +/- 7.9; H2: 166 +/- 7.7 mmHg; P < 0.01), there were no significant differences in heart rate (C: 125 +/- 13.9; H1: 125 +/- 13.5; H2: 123 +/- 14.1 bpm; P > 0.05) or LVEDP (C: 6.2 +/- 2.48; H1: 6.3 +/- 2.43; H2: 6.1 +/- 2.51 mmHg; P > 0.05). The values of dP/dt did not change after each elevation of arterial pressure (C: 3,068 +/- 1,057; H1: 3,112 +/- 996; H2: 3,086 +/- 980 mmHg/s; P > 0.05). In isolated rat papillary muscle, an afterload corresponding to 50% and 75% of the maximal developed tension did not alter the values of the maximum rate of tension development (100%: 78 +/- 13; 75%: 80 +/- 13; 50%: 79 +/- 11 g mm-2 s-1, P > 0.05). The results show that the rise in afterload per se does not cause changes in dP/dt or dT/dt. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The aim of this prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to assess the preventive effect and safety of low-dose sotalol after heart operation. METHODS: Two hundred fifty-five consecutive patients referred for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (n = 220) or aortic valve operation (n = 35) were randomized to receive either 80 mg of sotalol twice daily (n = 126) or matching placebo (n = 129) for 3 months, with the first dose given 2 hours before operation. RESULTS: There were no significant baseline differences between the groups. Overall, supraventricular tachyarrhythmias occurred in 36% of patients (82% atrial fibrillation). Hospital stay was 11.6 +/- 5 days in patients with supraventricular arrhythmias, versus 9.5 +/- 2.4 days in patients without it (p < 0.0001). Low-dose sotalol reduced the rate of supraventricular arrhythmias from 46% (placebo) to 26% (sotalol; p = 0.0012), or by 43%. On the fourth postoperative day, heart rate was lower in the sotalol group (74 +/- 12 beats/min versus 85 +/- 15 beats/min; p < 0.0001) but the QT interval corrected for the heart rate was not prolonged (sotalol group, 0.44 +/- 0.03 second; placebo group, 0.43 +/- 0.03 second; p = not significant). Study medication had to be discontinued because of side effects in 5.6% of sotalol and 3.9% of placebo patients (p = not significant), with one possible proarrhythmic event occurring in a patient receiving sotalol. CONCLUSIONS: Because more than 90% of supraventricular arrhythmic episodes occurred within 9 days after operation and 70% of all possibly sotalol related side effects occurred after day 9, the findings in this study imply that prophylactic treatment with sotalol may be limited to the first 9 postoperative days. 相似文献

This study was designed to clarify the efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on left ventricular (LV) function in 16 patients with a dilated LV due to myocardial infarction (LV end-systolic volume index: LVESVI >60 ml/m2). All had attained complete revascularization. To estimate the LV wall motion quantitatively using echocardiography, a wall motion score (WMS) was used (LV was divided into 17 segments with a four-point scale: akinesis=3, severe hypokinesis=2, hypokinesis=1, normal=0 and then summed). Exercise stress tests were performed after surgery, revealing that anginal symptoms had vanished in all the patients. In 5 patients with a preoperative end-systolic volume index (ESVI) >100 ml/m2, the ejection fraction (EF) did not change, and both were under 30% (before to after: 26+/-4 to 26+/-4%). Neither the ESVI (148+/-50 to 133+/-39 ml/m2) nor the end-diastolic volume index (end-diastolic volume index (EDVI): 198+/-62 to 180+/-37 ml/m2) changed; the WMS did not change (33+/-2 to 33+/-3). During exercise, in spite of the increase in heart rate (HR) (at rest, 81+/-20; HR during exercise, 111+/-21 beats/min, p<0.005) and LV end-diastolic pressure (EDP) (22+/-9; 35+/-13 mmHg, p<0.02), both cardiac index (CI) (2.4+/-0.3; 2.6+/-0.4 L/min x m2) and minute work (MW: 4.0+/-1.1; 4.1+/-0.4 kg x M/min) did not increase. In 11 patients with a preoperative ESVI <100 ml/m2, EF was extremely increased in 5 patients (more than 10%, 35+/-4 to 60+/-6%, p<0.005=improved subgroup) in whom the EDVI (130+/-16 to 120+/-13 ml/m2) did not change whereas the ESVI (82+/-14 to 48+/-7 ml/m2) was reduced. However, in the 6 remaining patients (ie nonimproved subgroup), neither ESVI (78+/-8 to 74+/-12 ml/m2), EDVI (115+/-10 to 115+/-20 ml/m2) nor EF (31+/-7 to 35+/-3%) changed. During exercise, HR (at rest, 88+/-13; during exercise, 108+/-11 beats/min, p<0.005), LVEDP (20+/-6; 29+/-7 mmHg, p<0.01), CI (2.5+/-0.6; 3.3+/-0.5 L/min x m2, p<0.05), MW (4.6+/-1.0; 6.5+/-1.5 kg x M/min, p<0.05) increased. The WMS in the nonimproved subgroup did not change (29+/-6 to 27+/-2), but in the improved subgroup it reduced after surgery (27+/-3 to 19+/-4, p<0.01). These data suggested that CABG in patients with a dilated LV was effective against anginal symptoms, but was restricted to left ventricular function. It may be possible to estimate postoperative LV function, including exercise tolerance, from the preoperative LVESVI. 相似文献

Cinnamomum migao oil (CV-3) 0.2ml.kg-1 was intraduodenum given to anesthetized open-chest cats. Ninety minutes after treatment with the oil, the SAP and DAP were slowly reduced to 15.2% and 14.2%, respectively. At the sametime, the HR was slowed down and CO decreased. The left ventricular pressure (LVP), the left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), dp/dtmax and Vmax were remarkably reduced respectively. The LVP-(dp/dtmax)P-1 loop was narrowed. Isosorbide dinitrate showed similar effects to CV-3. 相似文献

To assess the usefulness of the tissue Doppler imaging variables for the evaluation of left ventricular (LV) systolic function, we compared variables obtained by the pulsed Doppler method with the LV ejection fraction (%EF) and the maximum value for the first derivative of LV pressure (peak dP/dt). We examined 65 patients, including 15 patients with noncardiac chest pain, 15 with ischemic heart disease, 15 with dilated cardiomyopathy, 10 with hypertensive heart disease, and 10 with asymmetric septal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The subendocardial systolic wall motion velocity patterns were recorded for LV posterior wall and ventricular septum in the parasternal LV long-axis view. The peak dP/dt was significantly lower in the hypertensive heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and dilated cardiomyopathy groups. The peak systolic velocity was lower and the time from the electrocardiographic Q wave to the peak of the systolic wave for the posterior wall was longer in the hypertensive heart disease (5.9 +/- 0.5 cm/sec and 215 +/- 21 msec, respectively), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (6.2 +/- 0.9 cm/sec and 217 +/- 17 msec, respectively), and dilated cardiomyopathy (5.2 +/- 0.8 cm/sec and 235 +/- 26 msec, respectively) groups than in the noncardiac chest pain (7.7 +/- 0.9 cm/sec and 187 +/- 24 msec, respectively) and the ischemic heart disease (7.6 +/- 0.8 cm/sec and 184 +/- 22 msec, respectively) groups. In all groups, the peak systolic velocity and the time from the electrocardiographic Q wave to the peak of the systolic wave for the posterior wall correlated directly and inversely, respectively, with the %EF (r = 0.59, p < 0.0001; r = -0.59, p < 0.0001) and the peak dP/dt (r = 0.75, p < 0.0001; r = -0.68, p < 0.0001). Both tissue Doppler variables for the ventricular septum did not correlate with the %EF but roughly correlated with peak dP/dt. We conclude that the systolic LV wall motion velocity parameters obtained by pulsed tissue Doppler imaging may be useful for noninvasive evaluation of global LV systolic function in patients with no regional asynergy. 相似文献

1. The effects on the coronary and systemic haemodynamics of intravenous and intracoronary injections of two benzfuran derivatives, amiodarone and its brominated analogue (L8040), were studied in open-chest anaesthetized dogs. The effects of L8040 on cardiac intracellular potentials after 6 weeks of 20 mg/kg intraperitoneal injections in rabbits were also investigated. 2. Both compounds produced dose-related and quantitatively similar decreases in coronary vascular resistance following their intracoronary administration; threshold effects occurred with about 0-25 mg of each drug and maximal effects with 4 mg. Larger intracoronary doses produced measurable systemic effects. 3. Intravenous injections of amiodarone and L8040 (2-5-10 mg/kg) produced dose-related decreases in heart rate and aortic pressure with a fall in total peripheral resistance. The left ventricular output was either unaffected or increased with a consistent augmentation in stroke volume. 4. The bradycardia produced by both drugs was associated with prolongation of the P-R interval of the electrocardiogram with no significant effect on the QRS duration or the Q-T interval. 5. Each drug produced a decrease in the total peripheral vascular resistance with no change in left ventricular end diastolic pressure except after 10 mg/kg doses which led to an increase in this parameter. 6. Cardiac contractile force and peak LV dp/dt were reduced by both drugs in a dose-related manner. 7. Chronic intraperitoneal administration of L8040 in rabbits caused a prolongation of the duration of the atrial and ventricular intracellular potential without an effect on the maximal rate of depolarization. 8. The effect of amiodarone or L8040 on the coronary circulation and arterial pressure may be attributed to their vasodilator properties but their depressant actions on cardiac contractile force and peak LV dp/dt with an increase in left ventricular end diastolic pressure at high doses, also suggest intrinsic negative inotropic propensity for both compounds. 9. It is concluded that the overall effects on coronary and systemic haemodynamics of amiodarone and its brominated analogue are likely to permit a favourable influence on the balance of oxygen supply and demand in myocardial ischaemia; in addition, their actions on sino-atrial and atrio-ventricular conduction as well as those on cardiac repolarization suggest potential antiarrhythmic properties which merit investigation. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Chronic, complete AV block (CAVB) in the dog leads to ventricular hypertrophy, which has been described as an independent risk factor for arrhythmias. In this model, we examined (1) whether the short- and long-term electrical adaptations predispose to acquired torsade de pointes arrhythmias (TdP) and (2) the nature of the structural and functional adaptations involved. METHODS AND RESULTS: We determined (1) endocardial right (RV) and left (LV) ventricular APD, DeltaAPD (LV APD-RV APD), presence of EADs at 0 weeks (acute: AAVB), and CAVB (6 weeks) and inducibility of TdP by pacing and d-sotalol (n=10); (2) steady-state and dynamic LV hemodynamics at 0 and 6 weeks (n=6); (3) plasma neurohumoral levels in time (n=7); (4) structural parameters of the LV and RV of CAVB dogs (n=6) compared with sinus rhythm (SR) dogs (n=6); and (5) expression of ventricular mRNA atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in CAVB (n=4) and SR (n=4) dogs. Compared with AAVB, CAVB led to nonhomogeneous prolongation of LV and RV APD and different sensitivity for d-sotalol, leading to EADs (4 of 14 versus 9 of 18, P<0.05), increased DeltaAPD (45+/-30 versus 125+/-60 ms, P<0.05), and induction of TdP in most dogs (0% versus 60%, P<0.05). CAVB led to biventricular hypertrophy, whereas LV function was similar in AAVB and CAVB. The neurohumoral levels were transiently elevated. The LV and RV collagen and the capillary/fiber ratio remained normal, whereas ventricular ANF mRNA was not detectable. CONCLUSIONS: The electrical remodeling occurring after CAVB predisposes the heart to acquired TdP, whereas the structural changes (hypertrophy) are successfully aimed at maintaining cardiac function. 相似文献

1. The role of the renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of myocardial contractility is still debated. In order to investigate whether renin inhibition affects myocardial contractility and whether this action depends on intracardiac rather than circulating angiotensin II, the regional myocardial effects of systemic (i.v.) and intracoronary (i.c.) infusions of the renin inhibitor remikiren, were compared and related to the effects on systemic haemodynamics and circulating angiotensin II in open-chest anaesthetized pigs (25-30 kg). The specificity of the remikiren-induced effects was tested (1) by studying its i.c. effects after administration of the AT1-receptor antagonist L-158,809 and (2) by measuring its effects on contractile force of porcine isolated cardiac trabeculae. 2. Consecutive 10 min i.v. infusions of remikiren were given at 2, 5, 10 and 20 mg min-1. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), heart rate (HR), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) and left ventricular (LV) dP/dtmax were not affected by remikiren at 2 and 5 mg min-1, and were lowered at higher doses. At the highest dose, MAP decreased by 48%, CO by 13%, HR by 14%, SVR by 40%, MVO2 by 28% and LV dp/dtmax by 52% (mean values; P < 0.05 for difference from baseline, n = 5). The decrease in MVO2 was accompanied by a decrease in myocardial work (MAP x CO), but the larger decline in work (55% vs. 28%; P < 0.05) implies a reduced myocardial efficiency ((MAP x CO)/MVO2). 3. Consecutive 10 min i.c. infusions of remikiren were given at 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10 mg min-1. MAP, CO, MVO2 and LV dP/dtmax were not affected by remikiren at 0.2, 0.5 and 1 mg min-1, and were reduced at higher doses. At the highest dose, MAP decreased by 31%, CO by 26%, MVO2 by 46% and LV dP/dtmax by 43% (mean values; P < 0.05 for difference from baseline, n = 6). HR and SVR did not change at any dose. 4. Thirty minutes after a 10 min i.v. infusion of the AT1 receptor antagonist, L-158,809 at 1 mg min-1, consecutive 10 min i.c. infusions (n = 5) of remikiren at 2, 5 and 10 mg min-1 no longer affected CO and MVO2, and decreased LV dP/dtmax by maximally 27% (P < 0.05) and MAP by 14% (P < 0.05), which was less than without AT1-receptor blockade (P < 0.05). HR and SVR remained unaffected. 5. Plasma renin activity and angiotensin I and II were reduced to levels at or below the detection limit at doses of remikiren that were not high enough to affect systemic haemodynamics or regional myocardial function, both after i.v. and i.c. infusion. 6. Remikiren (10(-10) to 10(-4) M) did not affect contractile force of porcine isolated cardiac trabeculae precontracted with noradrenaline. In trabeculae that were not precontracted no decrease in baseline contractility was observed with remikiren in concentrations up to 10(-5) M, whereas at 10(-4) M baseline contractility decreased by 19% (P < 0.05). 7. Results show that with remikiren i.v., at the doses we used, blood pressure was lowered primarily by vasodilation and with remikiren i.c. by cardiac depression. The blood levels of remikiren required for its vasodilator action are lower than the levels affecting cardiac contractile function. A decrease in circulating angiotensin II does not appear to be the sole explanation for these haemodynamic responses. Data support the contention that myocardial contractility is increased by renin-dependent angiotensin II formation in the heart. 相似文献

Many authors link increased mortality in course of bronchial asthma (BA) with the administration of excessive doses of beta-2 agonists, one of the causes considered being their cardiotoxic effect. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of 0.5 mg intravenous bolus of salbutamol (S) on left ventricular (LV) function assessed by echocardiography and on the selected biochemical parameters: the activity of creatinine kinase (CK) and its cardiac specific isoenzyme (CK-MB), potassium (K+) and free fatty acids (FFA) serum concentration as well as partial arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2). The studied group consisted of 16 patients (pts)--12 males and 4 females, aged 36-60 yrs, mean 49.0 +/- 7 yrs with BA and moderate airway obstruction (FEV1%VC--60 +/- 7%). Pts with cardiac disorders were excluded from the study. Echocardiographic examination was performed before and 30 min after S injection. Biochemical determinations were carried out at 5 min., 30 min, 2 h, and 4 h following S administration. We found mean HR increase by 20 beats per min (p < 0.001) and mean systolic blood pressure elevation by 19 mmHg at 30 min (p < 0.001) after S. It was accompanied by significant increase of cardiac output (CO) from 5.7 +/- 1.5 to 8.4 +/- 1.8 l/min (p < 0.001) and mean rate of circumferential shortening (mVcf) from 1.48 +/- 0.27 to 1.88 +/- 0.43 (circ/sec), p < 0.01. Stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF%), fractional shortening of LV (FS%) increased nonsignificantly.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The goal of this study was to understand the mechanisms behind the changes in plasma NOx during heart failure. Heart failure is associated with an increase in plasma nitrate levels, and yet most experimental evidence demonstrates a reduction in endothelial nitric oxide production during heart failure. Dogs were chronically instrumented for measurement of systemic hemodynamics and left ventricular (LV) dimensions. Hearts were paced at 210 bpm for 3 weeks (n = 14) and then 240 bpm for 1 week (n = 7). Hemodynamics, arterial blood gases, plasma NOx, and creatinine levels were monitored weekly. Heart failure was evidenced by cachexia, ascites, and hemodynamic alterations. Resting heart rate rose (94 +/- 6 to 135 +/- 9 bpm), and LV dP/dt fell (2810 +/- 82 to 1471 +/- 99 mm Hg/s), while LV end diastolic pressure quadrupled (5.8 +/- 0.7 to 25 +/- 0.8 mm Hg), and diastolic wall stress quadrupled (11 +/- 1.3 to 43 +/- 6.0 g/cm2, all P < 0.05). These changes occurred during a doubling in plasma NOx (5.5 +/- 1.5 to 10 +/- 1.6 microM, P < 0.05). There were no changes in plasma NOx through 3 weeks of pacing. Plasma creatinine levels increased 450% (from 0.27 +/- 0.32 to 1.21 +/- 0.63 mg%). Stimulated nitrite production by agonists in sieved coronary microvessels was unchanged after 3 weeks of pacing but was reduced after heart failure. Plasma NOx did not correlate with LV dP/dt or systolic wall stress but correlated directly with LV EDP or diastolic wall stress and inversely with cardiac work. Plasma NOx rose in direct relation to plasma creatinine levels (Y = 4.8X + 2.8, r2 = 0.84), suggesting that the rise in plasma NOx during heart failure is due to decreased renal function not increased NO production. 相似文献

The efficacy of d/l sotalol was investigated in 50 patients (43 men, seven women; 33 with coronary artery disease, 15 with dilated cardiomyopathy; ejection fraction 33 +/- 10%) with inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia. Before d/l sotalol a mean of 2 +/- 1 (1 to 4) class I antiarrhythmic drugs were ineffective. In 24 patients (48%) oral d/l sotalol (320 +/- 47 mg.day-1) prevented induction of the ventricular tachycardia; in 23 patients the ventricular tachycardia remained inducible (d/l sotalol 326 +/- 50 mg.day-1). The electrophysiological effects of d/l sotalol did not differ between patients in whom d/l sotalol prevented induction of ventricular tachycardia and those in whom the ventricular tachycardia remained inducible. In two patients, torsade des pointes developed after oral application of d/l sotalol; one patient suffered from severe hypotension even with 80 mg of sotalol per day. During long-term follow-up (27 +/- 12 months) 5/24 patients (21%) had a non-fatal recurrence of ventricular tachycardia (1 week to 21 months), one patient died suddenly and another from progressive heart failure. In patients in whom the ventricular tachycardia could be induced despite oral application of d/l sotalol, control of the ventricular tachyarrhythmia was attempted by the use of sotalol in combination with mexiletine (n = 2), amiodarone (n = 9), catheter ablation (n = 2), antitachycardia surgery (n = 1) or the implantation of an automatic cardioverter defibrillator (n = 12). Recurrence of ventricular tachycardia was observed in four patients without an implanted cardioverter defibrillator. Seven out of 12 patients with an implanted cardioverter defibrillator received appropriate shocks or successful antitachycardia pacing. Although no patient died suddenly, overall mortality was 17% in this group. It is concluded that d/l sotalol is highly effective in the suppression of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia inducible by programmed electrical stimulation. However during a mean follow-up of 27 +/- 12 months a recurrence of ventricular tachycardia was seen in 21% of patients, and one patient died suddenly. 相似文献

This study examined the effects of cardiomyoplasty with vascular delay on canine normal and depressed left ventricular (LV) function. To improve viability of the latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM), vascular delay was performed 2 weeks before cardiomyoplasty in 10 mongrel dogs. Two weeks after cardiomyoplasty, LV function was evaluated by simultaneously measuring LV and aortic pressure, and aortic flow. The LDM was stimulated at a ratio of 1:4-1:7 synchronously with ventricular systole. Microspheres (90 mu) were sequentially injected into the left coronary artery to depress LV function. Data were acquired and analyzed on a beat to beat basis. Results were as follows: LDM stimulation significantly augmented LV systolic pressure (LVSP) from 138 +/- 2 to 161 +/- 2* mmHg, the peak rate of change of LV pressure (+dP/dt) from 1888 +/- 46 to 2584 +/- 43* mmHg/sec, aortic systolic pressure (AoSP) from 140 +/- 2 to 159 +/- 2* mmHg, stroke volume (SV) from 11.2 +/- 0.3 to 13.3 +/- 0.3* ml, stroke work (SW) from 19 +/- 1 to 26 +/- 1* gm.m, peak aortic flow (P Qa) from 5542 +/- 142 to 7190 +/- 161* ml/min, and decreased -dP/dt from -1683 +/- 31 to -1689 +/- 49* mmHg/sec (* = p < 0.05). Microsphere injections depressed LV function, but did not affect the magnitude of the net changes between stimulated and nonstimulated beats. However, the percent changes significantly increased. Preconditioning of LDM with vascular delay augments cardiac function in LDM assisted beats. This improved performance was present in both normal as well as depressed LV function groups. Thus, investigations of cardiomyoplasty may not necessarily require a model of severe myocardial dysfunction. Vascular delay offers an important preconditioning method of LDM to augment cardiac function in cardiomyoplasty. 相似文献

AIM: To study the effects of panaxadiol saponins (PDS) on burn rat heart functions and try to find its mechanisms. METHODS: A 35% skin-full-thickness burn was produced by using napalm in Wistar rats. PDS 30 mg kg-1 was injected i.p. to rats immediately after burn and repeated 2 h before examination. Using the isolated perfused working heart and biochemistry methods, heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), coronary flow (CF), left ventricular pressure (LVP), aortic pressure (AP), +/- dp/dtmax, and content of malondialdehyde (MDA), activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in ventricular myocardium homogenate were examined 8 h after burn. RESULTS: After burn, HR, CO, CF, LVP, AP, +dp/dtmax, -dp/dtmax, and SOD activity decreased from 206 bpm, 92 mL min-1 g-1, 26 mL min-1 g-1, 7 kPa, 5.9 kPa, 149 kPa s-1, 73 kPa s-1, 2.9 NU/mg protein to 162 bpm, 72 mL min-1 g-1, 14 mL min-1 g-1, 4 kPa, 2.2 kPa, 77 kPa s-1, 44 kPa s-1, 1.7 NU/mg protein, respectively, and MDA content raised from 0.77 nmol/mg protein to 1.35 nmol/mg protein (P all < 0.05). But in PDS-treated group, above decreased or increased dates restored to 202 bpm, 91 mL min-1 g-1, 25 mL min-1 g-1, 6 kPa, 4.1 kPa, 112 kPa s-1, 62 kPa s-1, 2.8 NU/mg protein, 0.91 nmol/mg protein, respectively (P all < 0.05 vs burn). CONCLUSION: PDS exerts definite protective effects on the cardiac functions after burn injury possibly through its enhancement of SOD activity and the reduction of both the levels of free radicals and lipid peroxides (LPO) of the myocardium. 相似文献
