Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The classical haemodynamic transients of volume-loading hypertension have been difficult to demonstrate in aldosterone-induced hypertension. Because recent studies have shown that continuous whole-day measurements of cardiac output are superior to short-term recordings, we studied the transient haemodynamic effects of aldosterone-induced hypertension while monitoring arterial pressure and cardiac output (electromagnetic flow probe) continuously for 20 h a day. In six dogs maintained on a fixed sodium intake of 150 mmol/day, we infused aldosterone (12 micrograms/kg per day, intravenously) for 10 days. The aldosterone induced a progressive increase in mean arterial pressure, from a control value of 88 +/- 1 to 107 +/- 2 mmHg. Cardiac output increased progressively, reaching a peak average value on the 4th day of infusion of +14 +/- 5% above control, and remained slightly elevated throughout the infusion period. Total peripheral resistance increased slowly to a value averaging +13 +/- 4% above control. Therefore, our experiments show that aldosterone induces a primary increase in cardiac output followed by a secondary vasoconstriction, which is consistent with the classical transient haemodynamic effects of volume-loading hypertension.
