摘要
Background Myocardial stunning is characterized not only by a decreased regional postischemic function but also by a relatively high oxygen consumption tie, decreased mechanical efficiency). Several lines of evidence suggest that the underlying mechanism may involve a decreased sensitivity of the myofibrils to calcium, but in vivo evidence is lacking. We therefore evaluated this hypothesis in vivo using EMD 60263, a calcium-sensitizing agent, which is devoid of any phosphodiesterase-inhibiting properties. Methods and Results We first established the effect of two consecutive doses of EMD 60263 (0.75 and 1.5 mg/kg IV, n=7), administered at 15-minute intervals, on segment length shortening (SLS), external work index (EW; the area inside the left ventricular pressure-segment length loop), myocardial oxygen consumption (MVo(2)), and mechanical efficiency (EW/MVo(2)) in anesthetized pigs with normal myocardium. After the highest dose of EMD 60263, SLS in the distribution area of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) increased from 13+/-1% at baseline to 17+/-1% (P<.05). However, EW, MVo(2), and EW/MVo(2) were not significantly affected (123+/-10%, 98+/-9%, and 85+/-13% of baseline, respectively). In 14 other anesthetized pigs, myocardial stunning was induced by two sequences of 10 minutes of LADCA occlusion and 30 minutes of myocardial reperfusion. After induction of stunning, the two doses of EMD 60263 (n=7) or saline (3 and 6 mL, n=7) were infused. In the distribution area of the LADCA, the stunning protocol caused decreases in SLS from 16+/-1% to 8+/-1% (P<.05) and in EW to 49+/-5% of baseline (P<.05), whereas MVo(2) was only minimally affected (P>.05). Consequently, mechanical efficiency decreased to 59+/-8% of baseline (P<.05). Saline infusion did not affect any of these regional myocardial variables, but after administration of EMD 60263 SLS recovered dose-dependently to 15+/-2% after the highest dose of the drug. EW and mechanical efficiency also recovered dose-dependently to 89+/-4% (P<.05 versus stunning) and to 88+/-7% (NS versus baseline) of baseline, respectively. In the not-stunned segment, SLS increased from 15+/-2% (at baseline) to 18+/-2% (after the highest dose), and EW per beat was not changed significantly. An adrenergic mode of action of EMD 60263 was excluded by blocking the alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors with phentolamine and propranolol, respectively, 15 minutes before administration of EMD 60263 tie, 15 minutes into the second reperfusion period) in five additional experiments. In these experiments the EMD 60263-induced increases in SLS and EW were not attenuated. Because EMD 60263 decreased heart rate from 106+/-4 to 76+/-3 beats per minute (P<.05) in the animals with stunned myocardium, we performed five experiments with the specific negative chronotropic compound zatebradine (UL-FS 49, 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg) to rule out bradycardia as a factor contributing to the effects of EMD 60263. These zatebradine doses lowered heart rate from 116+/-5 to 55+/-1 beats per minute (P<.05) but had no effect on SLS of stunned and not-stunned myocardium. Conclusions Calcium sensitization affects function and mechanical efficiency of stunned myocardium more profoundly than of not-stunned myocardium, lending support to the hypothesis that Ca2+ desensitization of the myofibrils is involved in myocardial stunning.
