Electrophysiological Effects

Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) has been proposed as a cardioprotective intervention. However, regional ventricular electrophysiological effects of VNS are not well characterized. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of right and left VNS on electrophysiological properties of the ventricles and hemodynamic parameters. In Yorkshire pigs, a 56-electrode sock was used for epicardial ( n = 12) activation recovery interval (ARI) recordings and a 64-electrode catheter for endocardial ( n = 9) ARI recordings at baseline and during VNS. Hemodynamic recordings were obtained using a conductance catheter. Right and left VNS decreased heart rate (84 ± 5 to 71 ± 5 beats/min and 84 ± 4 to 73 ± 5 beats/min), left ventricular pressure (89 ± 9 to 77 ± 9 mmHg and 91 ± 9 to 83 ± 9 mmHg), and dP/d tmax (1,660 ± 154 to 1,490 ± 160 mmHg/s and 1,595 ± 155 to 1,416 ± 134 mmHg/s) and prolonged ARI (327 ± 18 to 350 ± 23 ms and 327 ± 16 to 347 ± 21 ms, P < 0.05 vs. baseline for all parameters and P = not significant for right VNS vs. left VNS). No anterior-posterior-lateral regional differences in the prolongation of ARI during right or left VNS were found. However, endocardial ARI prolonged more than epicardial ARI, and apical ARI prolonged more than basal ARI during both right and left VNS. Changes in dP/d tmax showed the strongest correlation with ventricular ARI effects ( R2 = 0.81, P < 0.0001) than either heart rate ( R2 = 0.58, P < 0.01) or left ventricular pressure ( R2 = 0.52, P < 0.05). Therefore, right and left VNS have similar effects on ventricular ARI, in contrast to sympathetic stimulation, which shows regional differences. The decrease in inotropy correlates best with ventricular electrophysiological effects.

Ventricular Activation

The maximal rate of left ventricular pressure development (max. dp/dt) was measured in an areflexic preparation which permitted independent control of stroke volume, heart rate, and aortic pressure. Max. dp/dt increased as a result of elevating ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Elevating mean aortic pressure and increasing heart rate each resulted in a higher max. dp/dt without a change in ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Aortic diastolic pressure was shown to influence max. dp/dt in the absence of changes in ventricular end-diastolic pressure or contractility. Increasing contractility increased max. dp/dt while changing the manner of ventricular activation decreased max. dp/dt. These findings demonstrate that changes in max. dp/dt can and frequently do reflect changes in myocardial contractility. These data also indicate that max. dp/dt is a complex function, subject not only to extrinsically induced changes in contractility, but also to ventricular end-diastolic pressure, aortic diastolic pressure, the manner of ventricular activation, and intrinsic adjustments of contractility.

Vessel Wall Thickness

Myocardial ischemia is transmurally heterogeneous where the subendocardium is at higher risk. Stenosis induces reduced perfusion pressure, blood flow redistribution away from the subendocardium, and consequent subendocardial vulnerability. We propose that the flow redistribution stems from the higher compliance of the subendocardial vasculature. This new paradigm was tested using network flow simulation based on measured coronary anatomy, vessel flow and mechanics, and myocardium-vessel interactions. Flow redistribution was quantified by the relative change in the subendocardial-to-subepicardial perfusion ratio under a 60-mmHg perfusion pressure reduction. Myocardial contraction was found to induce the following: 1) more compressive loading and subsequent lower transvascular pressure in deeper vessels, 2) consequent higher compliance of the subendocardial vasculature, and 3) substantial flow redistribution, i.e., a 20% drop in the subendocardial-to-subepicardial flow ratio under the prescribed reduction in perfusion pressure. This flow redistribution was found to occur primarily because the vessel compliance is nonlinear (pressure dependent). The observed thinner subendocardial vessel walls were predicted to induce a higher compliance of the subendocardial vasculature and greater flow redistribution. Subendocardial perfusion was predicted to improve with a reduction of either heart rate or left ventricular pressure under low perfusion pressure. In conclusion, subendocardial vulnerability to a acute reduction in perfusion pressure stems primarily from differences in vascular compliance induced by transmural differences in both extravascular loading and vessel wall thickness. Subendocardial ischemia can be improved by a reduction of heart rate and left ventricular pressure.

Stimulation Of

Devices to measure left ventricular pressure, diameter and heart rate in animals with closed chests were placed on the hearts of dogs. After recovery from this operation the dogs were trained to exercise on a treadmill and the cardiovascular responses to this exercise were recorded. Stimulating electrodes were then stereotaxically placed in the diencephalon. In some dogs the electrodes were chronically implanted, and the stimulation was carried out after recovery from this second operation. In other animals stimulation was carried out immediately while they were under chloralose anesthesia. Stimulation of the H1 and H2 fields of Forel and the periventricular gray of the third ventricle resulted in cardiovascular responses similar to those which result from exercise.

Myocardial Oxygen Supply

It has been proposed that adenosine is a metabolic vasodilator that matches myocardial oxygen supply to demand by regulating coronary blood flow. In the present study, the adenosine antagonist aminophylline (Am) was used to evaluate the role adenosine plays in the coronary blood flow increase elicited by a controlled aversive stress, namely, classical aversive conditioning (a 30-s tone reinforced with a 1-s shock). Fifteen mongrel dogs were chronically instrumented to measure left circumflex coronary blood flow (CBF), left ventricular pressure (LVP), and heart rate. Am significantly (P greater than 0.01) attenuated the CBF response to the aversive stress without affecting the prestress levels (pre-Am control 40.9 +/- 2.4, peak 64.6 +/- 3.3 ml/min; post-Am control 41.7 +/- 2.2, peak 55.0 +/- 2.5 ml/min). The maximal CBF increase was reduced by 38.9 +/- 6.7% when compared with the control (no drug) condition. In a similar manner, neither heart rate nor LVP was affected by Am. However, Am significantly increased prestress level of first derivative of left ventricular pressure with reference to time [LV dP/dt] (pre-Am control 3,793.5 +/- 289.8 and Am 4,599.6 +/- 331.2 mmHg/s, respectively). These data suggest that adenosine contributes significantly to the regulation of CBF during a controlled emotional stress.
