Popis: In patients with chronic aortic regurgitation (AR), excessive preload and afterload increase left ventricle wall stress, leading to left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) on left ventricle wall stress in an experimental rat model of severe chronic AR. Forty adult male Wistar rats were randomized into two experimental groups: induction of AR (acute phase) by retrograde puncture (n = 34) or a sham intervention (n = 6). Rats that survived the acute phase (n = 18) were randomized into an OM group (n = 8) or a placebo group (n = 10). Equal volumes of OM (1.2 mg/kg/h) or placebo (0.9% NaCl) were continuously infused into the femoral vein over 30 min. OM significantly decreased end‐systolic and end‐diastolic and maximum wall stress in this experimental rat model of chronic severe AR (p
