Abstrakt: Background: Precapillary pulmonary hypertension (precPH) patients have altered right atrial (RA) function and right ventricular (RV) diastolic stiffness.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate RA function using pressure-volume (PV) loops, isolated cardiomyocyte, and histological analyses.
Methods: RA PV loops were constructed in control subjects (n = 9) and precPH patients (n = 27) using magnetic resonance and catheterization data. RA stiffness (pressure rise during atrial filling) and right atrioventricular coupling index (RA minimal volume / RV end-diastolic volume) were compared in a larger cohort of patients with moderate (n = 39) or severe (n = 41) RV diastolic stiffness. Cardiomyocytes were isolated from RA tissue collected from control subjects (n = 6) and precPH patients (n = 9) undergoing surgery. Autopsy material was collected from control subjects (n = 6) and precPH patients (n = 4) to study RA hypertrophy, capillarization, and fibrosis.
Results: RA PV loops showed 3 RA cardiac phases (reservoir, passive emptying, and contraction) with dilatation and elevated pressure in precPH. PrecPH patients with severe RV diastolic stiffness had increased RA stiffness and worse right atrioventricular coupling index. Cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area was increased 2- to 3-fold in precPH, but active tension generated by the sarcomeres was unaltered. There was no increase in passive tension of the cardiomyocytes, but end-stage precPH showed reduced number of capillaries per mm 2 accompanied by interstitial and perivascular fibrosis.
Conclusions: RA PV loops show increased RA stiffness and suggest atrioventricular uncoupling in patients with severe RV diastolic stiffness. Isolated RA cardiomyocytes of precPH patients are hypertrophied, without intrinsic sarcomeric changes. In end-stage precPH, reduced capillary density is accompanied by interstitial and perivascular fibrosis.
