Popis: | To investigate mechanisms underlying the contractile dysfunction during myocardial "stunning," potentiated contractions were studied in Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts paced at 2.5 Hz. Isovolumetric left ventricular pressure (LVP) and the first derivative of LVP (dP/dt) were measured via a balloon. Potentiated contractions, elicited after 3 s of rest (postrest potentiation, PRP) or with paired pulses (paired-pulse potentiation, PPP) were first characterized in nonischemic conditions. Exposure to 5 nM ryanodine changed PRP into postrest depression [control, 134 +/- 1.7% (SE); ryanodine, 65 +/- 3.4%; n = 5] but did not decrease PPP (control, 125 +/- 7.2%; ryanodine, 141 +/- 14.5%). When sarcolemmal Ca2+ influx was decreased by 0.2-2 microM verapamil, PRP increased (control, 136 +/- 3.7%; 1 microM verapamil, 214 +/- 23.8%; n = 5), whereas PPP was maintained (control, 134 +/- 8.0%; 1 microM verapamil, 154 +/- 11.5%). During ischemia, both PRP and PPP were increased above preischemic values (from 128 +/- 1.9 to 355 +/- 60.4% and from 122 +/- 5.4 to 313 +/- 37.4%, respectively, n = 5). Changes of potentiation of dP/dt were qualitatively similar to those of LVP. On reperfusion, rest potentiation transiently decreased (PRP of dP/dt: 127 +/- 6% preischemia vs. 112 +/- 3% at 2 min postischemia; n = 6). However, PPP increased during the first 20 min of reperfusion (PPP of dP/dt: 184 +/- 22% preischemia vs. 236 +/- 34% postischemia; n = 6). This transient depression of PRP during reperfusion suggests an impairment of sarcoplasmic reticulum function in stunned myocardium, at least during the early phase of reperfusion. |
