Octreotide is a somatostatin analog which constricts the splanchnic circulation thereby improving orthostatic tolerance. We tested the hypotheses that octreotide improves orthostatic tolerance by: 1)increasing cardiac filling (right atrial) pressure via reductions in vascular capacity; 2) by causing an upward (i.e. cranial) shift of the hydrostatic indifferent point; and 3) by increasing arterial pressure via a reduction in total vascular conductance. Studies were carried out in acepromazine sedated, hexamethonium treated atrioventricular blocked conscious dogs lightly restrained in lateral recumbency. Beat-by-beat cardiac output was held constant via computer-controlled ventricular pacing at rest and during 30 sec of 30° head-up tilt. Octreotide (1.5 μg kg(-1) i.v.) raised right atrial pressure by 0.5 mmHg and raised mean arterial pressure by 11 mmHg by reducing total vascular conductance (all p<0.05). Right atrial pressure fell by a similar amount in response to tilting before and after octreotide, thus there was no difference in location of the hydrostatic indifferent point. These data indicate that octreotide improves orthostatic tolerance by decreasing total vascular conductance and by increasing cardiac filling pressure via a reduction in unstressed vascular volume and not by eliciting a cranial shift of the location of the hydrostatic indifferent point. |
