Cat Heart

The distribution of acetylcholine (ACh) in the cat heart was investigated by a pyrolysis-gas chromatography (PGC) method. The hearts were dissected into various regions and homogenized in acetonitrile in the presence of propionylcholine, internal standard. Following extraction with toluene and hexane, the choline esters were precipitated as the enneaiodide complex. The isolated choline esters were analyzed by PGC, and the peak corresponding to ACh was quantified. The compound extracted from heart tissue that eluted with the retention time of authentic ACh was identified by mass spectrometry as dimethylaminoethylacetate, the pyrolysis product of ACh. ACh concentrations were found to be higher in the atria than the ventricles. In both the atria and the ventricles, a higher content of ACh was found in the right than the left portions: right ventricle, 5.0 compared to left ventricle, 2.0 nmol/g; and right atrium, 16.8 compared to left atrium, 11.3 nmol/g. Some cats were subjected to a bilateral cervical vagotomy 3 wk before removal and analysis of heart tissue. Hearts from vagotomized cats contained less ACh than controls in the right ventricle (-31%), right atrium (-54%), SA node (-42%), and papillary muscle (-53%), but no decreases were found in the left ventricle, left atrium, or interventricular septum.

Ventricular Trabeculae

The aim of the present study was to assess the inotropic effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on isolated myocardial trabeculae from the right atrium and the left ventricle of human hearts. Furthermore, using reverse transcriptase-PCR, we wanted to determine the presence of mRNAs encoding the three cloned human VIP receptors, VPAC1, VPAC2 and PAC1. The trabeculae were paced at 1.0Hz in tissue baths, and changes in isometric contractile force upon exposure to agonist were studied. VIP had a potent positive inotropic effect in some of the atrial and ventricular trabeculae tested. This effect was almost completely blocked by the VIP-receptor antagonist VIP-(6-28). mRNAs encoding the human VPAC1, VPAC2 and PAC1 receptors were detected in human myocardial trabeculae from both the right atrium and the left ventricle. In conclusion, VIP has a direct positive inotropic effect in both the atria and the ventricles of the human heart. The presence of mRNAs for the VPAC1, VPAC2 and PAC1 receptors suggest that VIP may mediate its effect via these receptors.

Primary Cardiac Tumors

Primary cardiac tumors are rare in children, usually consist of benign tumors like rhabdomyomas and fibromas that may spontaneously regress. Primary malignant tumors are extremely rare even in adults and very few paediatric cases were reported in literature. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare primary malignant tumor in children and most of the reported cases occur in right ventricle, left atrium and right atrium. We report a 15 month old child with primary rhabdomyosarcoma of left ventricle presenting in cardiac tamponade and circulatory failure.
