To determine whether atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) can reverse angiotensin (ANG II)-induced venoconstriction, ANP was infused (0.3 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) in the presence of ANG II-induced hypertension in six ganglion-blocked dogs. ANG II was initially administered to increase mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) 50% above control. ANG II did not change heart rate or left ventricular rate of pressure development (LV dP/dt) but increased total peripheral vascular resistance (TPVR) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). Mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP) increased, whereas cardiac output and venous compliance decreased. Unstressed vascular volume did not change, but central blood volume increased. ANP infusion during ANG II-induced hypertension resulted in a decrease in MAP, but TPVR did not change. There were no changes in heart rate or LV dP/dt. ANP decreased cardiac output further. LVEDP returned to base line with ANP. ANP also decreased MCFP and normalized venous compliance. There was no significant change in total blood volume, but central blood volume decreased. In summary, ANP can reverse the venoconstriction but not the arterial vasoconstriction produced by ANG II. The decrease in MAP was due to a decrease in cardiac output that resulted from venodilatation and aggravation of the preload-afterload mismatch produced by ANG II alone. Because TPVR did not change when MAP fell, we conclude that the interaction between ANG II and ANP occurs primarily in the venous circulation.

To examine the mechanism by which atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) decreases cardiac output, we studied changes in the heart, peripheral circulation, and blood flow distribution in eight dogs. ANP was given as a bolus (3.0 micrograms/kg) followed by an infusion of 0.3 microgram.kg-1.min-1. ANP did not change heart rate, total peripheral vascular resistance, and the first derivative of left ventricular pressure but decreased mean aortic pressure from 91 +/- 4 to 76 +/- 3 mmHg (P less than 0.001) and cardiac output from 153 +/- 15 to 130 +/- 9 ml.kg-1.min-1 (P less than 0.02). Right atrial pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure also decreased. Mean circulatory filling pressure decreased from 7.1 +/- 0.3 to 6.0 +/- 0.3 mmHg (P less than 0.001), but venous compliance and unstressed vascular volume did not change. Resistance to venous return increased from 0.056 +/- 0.008 to 0.063 +/- 0.010 mmHg.ml-1.kg.min (P less than 0.05). Arterial compliance increased from 0.060 +/- 0.003 to 0.072 +/- 0.004 ml.mmHg-1.kg-1 (P less than 0.02). Total blood volume and central blood volume decreased from 82.2 +/- 3.1 to 76.2 +/- 4.6 and from 19.8 +/- 0.8 to 17.6 +/- 0.6 ml/kg (P less than 0.02), respectively. Blood flow increased to the kidneys. We conclude that ANP decreases cardiac output by decreasing total blood volume. This results in a lower operating pressure and volume in the venous capacitance system with no significant venodilating effects. Cardiac factors and a redistribution of flow to the splanchnic organs are not important mechanisms to explain the decrease in cardiac output with ANP.

We determined whether the deleterious effects of dehydration and hyperthermia on cardiovascular function during upright exercise were attenuated by elevating central blood volume with supine exercise. Seven trained men [maximal oxygen consumption (V˙o 2 max) 4.7 ± 0.4 l/min (mean ± SE)] cycled for 30 min in the heat (35°C) in the upright and in the supine positions (V˙o 2 2.93 ± 0.27 l/min) while maintaining euhydration by fluid ingestion or while being dehydrated by 5% of body weight after 2 h of upright exercise. When subjects were euhydrated, esophageal temperature (Tes) was 37.8–38.0°C in both body postures. Dehydration caused equal hyperthermia during both upright and supine exercise (Tes = 38.7–38.8°C). During upright exercise, dehydration lowered stroke volume (SV), cardiac output, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and cutaneous vascular conductance and increased heart rate and plasma catecholamines [30 ± 6 ml, 3.0 ± 0.7 l/min, 6 ± 2 mmHg, 22 ± 8%, 14 ± 2 beats/min, and 50–96%, respectively; all P < 0.05]. In contrast, during supine exercise, dehydration did not cause significant alterations in MAP, cutaneous vascular conductance, or plasma catecholamines. Furthermore, supine versus upright exercise attenuated the increases in heart rate (7 ± 2 vs. 9 ± 1%) and the reductions in SV (13 ± 4 vs. 21 ± 3%) and cardiac output (8 ± 3 vs. 14 ± 3%) (all P< 0.05). These results suggest that the decline in cutaneous vascular conductance and the increase in plasma norepinephrine concentration, independent of hyperthermia, are associated with a reduction in central blood volume and a lower arterial blood pressure.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether high plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in compensated heart failure are important in the maintenance of sodium balance. This was achieved by subjecting eight dogs to bilateral atrial appendectomy (APX) to blunt the ANP response to pacing-induced heart failure. Five intact dogs served as controls. In controls, 14 days of left ventricular pacing at 240 beats/min produced a sustained fall in cardiac output and mean arterial pressure of approximately 40 and 20%, respectively; compared with cardiac output, reductions in renal blood flow (up to approximately 25%) were less pronounced and even smaller decrements in GFR occurred (up to 9%). Despite these changes and a threefold elevation in plasma norepinephrine concentration, plasma renin activity (PRA) did not increase and sodium balance was achieved during the second week of pacing in association with a six- to eightfold rise in plasma levels of ANP. Similar responses occurred in four dogs in which APX was relatively ineffective in blunting the ANP response to pacing. In marked contrast, there were substantial increments in PRA and in plasma norepinephrine concentration, and marked sodium and water retention during the last week of pacing in four dogs with APX and severely deficient ANP. These results indicate that ANP plays a critical role in promoting sodium excretion in the early stages of cardiac dysfunction.

T-type Ca2+ channel Cav3.1 promotes microvessel contraction ex vivo. It was hypothesized that in vivo, functional deletion of Cav3.1, but not Cav3.2, protects mice against angiotensin II (ANG II)-induced hypertension. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate were measured continuously with chronically indwelling catheters during infusion of ANG II (30 ng·kg−1·min−1, 7 days) in wild-type (WT), Cav3.1−/−, and Cav3.2−/− mice. Plasma aldosterone and renin concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassays. In a separate series, WT mice were infused with ANG II (100 ng·kg−1·min−1) with and without the mineralocorticoid receptor blocker canrenoate. Cav3.1−/− and Cav3.2−/− mice exhibited no baseline difference in MAP compared with WT mice, but day-night variation was blunted in both Cav3.1 and Cav3.2−/− mice. ANG II increased significantly MAP in WT, Cav3.1−/−, and Cav3.2−/− mice with no differences between genotypes. Heart rate was significantly lower in Cav3.1−/− and Cav3.2−/− mice compared with control mice. After ANG II infusion, plasma aldosterone concentration was significantly lower in Cav3.1−/− compared with Cav3.2−/− mice. In response to ANG II, fibrosis was observed in heart sections from both WT and Cav3.1−/− mice and while cardiac atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA was similar, the brain natriuretic peptide mRNA increase was mitigated in Cav3.1−/− mice ANG II at 100 ng/kg yielded elevated pressure and an increased heart weight-to-body weight ratio in WT mice. Cardiac hypertrophy, but not hypertension, was prevented by the mineralocorticoid receptor blocker canrenoate. In conclusion, T-type channels Cav3.1and Cav3.2 do not contribute to baseline blood pressure levels and ANG II-induced hypertension. Cav3.1, but not Cav3.2, contributes to aldosterone secretion. Aldosterone promotes cardiac hypertrophy during hypertension.

To investigate the effect of different levels of central blood volume on cardiac performance during exercise, M-mode echocardiography was utilized to determine left ventricular size and performance during cycling exercise in the upright posture (UP), supine posture (SP), and head-out water immersion (WI). At submaximal work loads requiring a mean O2 consumption (Vo2) of 1.2 1/min and 1.5 1/min, mean left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic dimensions were significantly greater (P less than 0.05) with WI than UP. In the SP during exercise, left ventricular dimensions were intermediate between UP and WI. Heart rate did not differ significantly among the three conditions at rest and at submaximal exercise up to a mean Vo2 of 1.8 1/min. However, at a mean Vo2 of 2.4 1/min, heart rate in the UP was significantly greater than WI (P less than 0.01) and the SP (P less than 0.05). Maximal Vo2 did not differ statistically in the three conditions. These data indicate that a change in central blood volume results in alterations in left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic dimensions during moderate levels of exercise and a change in heart rate at heavy levels of exercise.

Postural Tachycardia

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by exercise intolerance and sympathoactivation. To examine whether abnormal cardiac output and central blood volume changes occur during exercise in POTS, we studied 29 patients with POTS (17–29 yr) and 12 healthy subjects (18–27 yr) using impedance and venous occlusion plethysmography to assess regional blood volumes and flows during supine static handgrip to evoke the exercise pressor reflex. POTS was subgrouped into normal and low-flow groups based on calf blood flow. We examined autonomic effects with variability techniques. During handgrip, systolic blood pressure increased from 112 ± 4 to 139 ± 9 mmHg in control, from 119 ± 6 to 143 ± 9 in normal-flow POTS, but only from 117 ± 4 to 128 ± 6 in low-flow POTS. Heart rate increased from 63 ± 6 to 82 ± 4 beats/min in control, 76 ± 3 to 92 ± 6 beats/min in normal-flow POTS, and 88 ± 4 to 100 ± 6 beats/min in low-flow POTS. Heart rate variability and coherence markedly decreased in low-flow POTS, indicating uncoupling of baroreflex heart rate regulation. The increase in central blood volume with handgrip was absent in low-flow POTS and blunted in normal-flow POTS associated with abnormal splanchnic emptying. Cardiac output increased in control, was unchanged in low-flow POTS, and was attenuated in normal-flow POTS. Total peripheral resistance was increased compared with control in all POTS. The exercise pressor reflex was attenuated in low-flow POTS. While increased cardiac output and central blood volume characterizes controls, increased peripheral resistance with blunted or eliminated in central blood volume increments characterizes POTS and may contribute to exercise intolerance.
