The complex of structural and functional changes of myocardium was investigated in experiments with rats with chronic beta-adrenergic activation for 1 month. We observed substantial attenuation of myocardial pump function, particularly reduction of stroke volume by 38.50% (P < 0.01), cardiac output by 42.38% (P < 0.01), and ejection fraction by 35.61% (P < 0.01). Furthermore, 2-fold increase of end-diastolic left ventricular pressure (P < 0.01) and rise of active relaxation constant Tau by 12.91% (P < 0.05) were observed. This indicates on an impaired diastolic function of the heart that is associated with accumulation of connective tissue elements in myocardium and increase of its end-diastolic stiffness that finally leads to cardiac pump function disturbances. Surprisingly, myocardial contractility was considerably augmented not only after the treatment with beta-adrenergic agonist but also on the 26th day after drug cessation. This phenomenon is associated with elevation of dP/dt(max) by 49.9% (P < 0.01), 2.5-fold increase of end-systolic elastance (P < 0.01) as well as maximal myocardial elastance by 42.53% (P < 0.05). It can be explained by compensatory influence of increased contractility that nevertheless failed to maintain adequate cardiac pump function and furthermore it may result in depletion of cardiac energy resource. |
