Chronic heart failure (CHF) is manifested principally in the elderly population. Therefore, to understand the causes of exercise intolerance in CHF patients, it is imperative to resolve the effects of aging on muscle blood flow (BF) in CHF. To address this issue, we determined the muscle BF response to submaximal treadmill exercise (20 m/min, 5% grade) in young (Y(CHF): 6-8 mo, 412 +/- 11 g, n = 11) and old (O(CHF): 27-29 mo, 494 +/- 10 g, n = 8) Fischer 344 x Brown Norway rats with similar degrees of myocardial infarction-induced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction [resting LV end-diastolic pressure: Y(CHF) = 24 +/- 2, O(CHF) = 22 +/- 2 mmHg; derivative of LV pressure over time: Y(CHF) = 5,168 +/- 285; O(CHF) = 5,050 +/- 165 mmHg/s; lung weight normalized to body weight: Y(CHF) = 9.14 +/- 0.72; O(CHF) = 8.21 +/- 0.29 mg/g (all P > 0.05)]. The exercising heart rate response was blunted in O(CHF) compared with Y(CHF) rats (Y(CHF) = 454 +/- 8, O(CHF) = 395 +/- 9 beats/min; P < 0.05). BF (radiolabeled microspheres) to the total hindlimb musculature and to each of the 28 individual muscles examined was similar between Y(CHF) and O(CHF) rats under resting conditions. During exercise, BF to five of the hindlimb muscles that normally possess a majority of slow-twitch oxidative and fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic muscle fibers increased significantly less (-25 to -42%) for O(CHF) compared with Y(CHF) rats. In contrast, BF to 14 of the hindlimb muscles that normally possess a majority of fast-twitch glycolytic muscle fibers was increased (+22 to +337%) for O(CHF) vs. Y(CHF) rats, which contributed to a greater mass-specific total hindlimb BF response in O(CHF) rats (Y(CHF) = 78 +/- 5, O(CHF) = 100 +/- 11 ml.min(-1).100 g(-1); P < 0.05) and coincided with greater reductions in BF to the kidneys and splanchnic organs during exercise in O(CHF) vs. Y(CHF). In conclusion, there appears to be a profound age-related redistribution of BF from the highly oxidative to the highly glycolytic muscles of the hindlimb during exercise in O(CHF) compared with Y(CHF) rats. This phenomenon is qualitatively similar to that reported previously for healthy young and old rats. |
