چکیده

The goal of this study was to determine the extent to which the effects of milrinone were desensitized in heart failure (HF) and to determine the mechanisms, i.e., whether these effects could be ascribed to changes in cAMP or phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity in HF. Accordingly, we examined the effects of milrinone in seven conscious dogs before and after HF was induced by rapid ventricular pacing at 240 beats/min. The dogs were chronically instrumented for measurements of left ventricular (LV) pressure and first derivative of LV pressure (dP/d t), arterial pressure, LV internal diameter, and wall thickness. Milrinone (10 μg ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ min-1iv) increased LV dP/d t by 1,854 ± 157 from 2,701 ± 105 mmHg/s ( P < 0.05) before HF. After HF the increase in LV dP/d t in response to milrinone was attenuated significantly ( P < 0.05); it increased by 615 ± 67 from 1,550 ± 107 mmHg/s, indicating marked desensitization. In the presence of ganglionic blockade the increases in LV dP/d t (+445 ± 65 mmHg/s) in response to milrinone were markedly less ( P < 0.01), and milrinone increased LV dP/d t even less in HF (+240 ± 65 mmHg/s). cAMP and PDE activity were measured in endocardial and epicardial layers in normal and failing myocardium. cAMP was decreased significantly ( P < 0.05) in LV endocardium (-26%) but not significantly in LV epicardium (-14%). PDE activity was also decreased significantly ( P < 0.05) in LV endocardium (-18%) but not in LV epicardium (-4%). Thus significant desensitization to milrinone was observed in conscious dogs with HF. The major effect was autonomically mediated. The biochemical mechanism appears to be due in part to the modest reductions in PDE activity in failing myocardium, which, in turn, may be a compensatory mechanism to maintain cAMP levels in HF. Reductions in cAMP and PDE levels were restricted to the subendocardium, suggesting that the increased wall stress and reduced coronary reserve play a role in mediating these changes.

Reduction in interaction between cGMP and cAMP in dog ventricular myocytes with hypertrophic failure.

Baseline function and signal transduction are depressed in hearts with hypertrophic failure. We tested the hypothesis that the effects of cGMP and its interaction with cAMP would be reduced in cardiac myocytes from hypertrophic failing hearts. Ventricular myocytes were isolated from control dogs, dogs with aortic valve stenosis hypertrophy, and dogs with pacing hypertrophic failure. Myocyte fun...

Cardiovascular effects of a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor in the presence of carvedilol in dogs.

The aim of this study was to determine whether dobutamine, dopamine, or milrinone (a phosphodiesterase [PDE] III inhibitor) would support cardiac function that had been attenuated by administration of the beta-blocker, carvedilol (0.2, 0.4, or 0.8 mg/kg). Hemodynamic and cardiac parameters including the heart rate (HR), left-ventricular fractional shortening (FS), and arterial pressure were mea...

Pharmacology of positive inotropic phosphodiesterase III inhibitors.

Cardiac phosphodiesterase III (PDE) inhibitors derived from pyridinone, imidazolone, pyridazinone and related structures form a new class of positive inotropic vasodilator agents (e.g. milrinone) that are beneficial in the treatment of acute and chronic heart failure. These agents inhibit the intracellular hydrolysis of cyclic AMP, thereby promoting cyclic AMP-catalysed phosphorylation of sarco...

Role of intact cardiac nerves and reflex mechanisms in desensitization to catecholamines in conscious dogs.

To study chronic catecholamine desensitization, mini-osmotic pumps were implanted subcutaneously to deliver NE, (0.5 micrograms/kg/min) or saline over 3-4 wk in dogs instrumented with left ventricular (LV) pressure gauges and arterial and left atrial pressure catheters. An acute challenge to NE (0.4 micrograms/kg/min) in intact, conscious dogs increased LV dP/dt by 1,531 +/- 208 mmHg/s before N...
