Abstract/OtherAbstract:

The relative contribution of the chronotropic effects of stimulating sympathetic and vagus nerves on cardiac inotropic changes in the isolated Langendorff perfused rabbit heart with intact dual autonomic nerves was studied. The force-frequency relationship was investigated, in addition to sympathetic nerve stimulation (SS) at 2 Hz (low), 5 Hz (med) and 10 Hz (high), and left and right vagus nerve stimulation (VS) studied at 2 Hz (low), 5 Hz (med) and 7 Hz (high) with and without right ventricular pacing. It was shown that a biphasic force-frequency relationship is present with a positive relationship at low heart rates and a negative force-frequency relationship at higher heart rates. There was a trend for left- and right-VS to decrease left ventricular pressure with a decrease in heart rate, whilst SS had the opposing effects in a frequency-dependent manner. When heart rate was kept constant, there was no effect from left- or right-VS, while SS increased left ventricular pressure in a frequency-dependent manner. Together these results suggest that SS, left- and right-VS alter left ventricular force by two different mechanisms. Left- and right-VS decrease left ventricular pressure predominantly via chronotropic effects whilst SS increases force predominantly by direct changes in contractility. |
