The role of clonidine in hypertensive heart disease. Influence on myocardial contractility and left ventricular afterload.

چکیده
The hemodynamic and contractile effects of clonidine were studied in hypertrophied hearts of spontaneously hypertensive rats (Okamoto-Aoki strain, SHR). The hemodynamic pattern was characterized by dose-dependent decreases in systolic blood pressure and systolic wall stress, ie, the afterload imposed upon the left ventricle, whereas left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume were unchanged. Even at extremely high doses (10(-5)M/L) there was found no depression of isometric tension development and maximum isotonic shortening velocity of the isolated LV papillary muscle. It is concluded that clonidine may be beneficial in hypertensive heart disease, if ventricular unloading associated with a reduction in myocardial energy demand is desired.

Background: Calcium channel blockers are important group of drugs that have been used in the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular diseases especially hypertension. In this study we have investigated the effects of three newly synthetized ester analogs of nifedipine (Compounds No. 1, 2 and 3) compared to nifedipine on mean arterial pressure, dp/dt (cardiac contractility index) and heart ra...

Background. Patients with aortic stenosis have a period of compensated left ventricular hypertrophy but may eventually develop congestive heart failure. Previous experimental studies showed either normal myocardial contractility in mild short-term pressure overload or myocardial dysfunction with severe pressure overload. Transition from compensated left ventricular hypertrophy to myocardial dys...

Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
متن کاملRole of oxidative stress in the aortic constriction-induced ventricular hypertrophy in rat
Introduction:Severe abdominal aortic constriction above the renal arteries induces arterial hypertension above the stenotic site that is the cause of cardiac hypertrophy. Previous studies have shown that high blood pressure induces myocardial oxidative stress with conflicting results. In the present study, we assessed the effects of acute hypertension on the myocardial oxidative stress an...
