Abstract:
:Although the ultimate cause for the myocardial dysfunction of hypertensive heart disease is still unclear, a crucial role of the myocardial energy metabolism has been suggested. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether age-related myocardial dysfunction in hearts of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) is associated with an impaired myocardial energy metabolism. Isolated hearts of SHR and Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) aged about 40, 60, and 80 weeks, respectively (each n = 4-5), were perfused according to the working heart technique. Cardiac work and coronary flow were monitored online. Myocardial energy metabolism was evaluated by calculating the ratio of phosphocreatine (PCr) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) spectroscopy. All hearts were subjected to work for 30min at baseline conditions (low afterload), followed by another 30min under a moderate pressure load (high afterload). Each SHR group showed a higher heart weight/body weight ratio than the age-matched WKY controls. The SHR showed a progressive age-dependent reduction of cardiac work (40 weeks = 5.1+/-0.3, 60 weeks = 4.0+/-0.3, 80 weeks = 3.8+/-0.2 (mW/g) at baseline conditions) and PCr/ATP-ratio (40 weeks = 1.82+/-0.06, 60 weeks = 1.69+/-0.05, 80 weeks = 1.59+/-0.09 (PCr/ATP) at baseline conditions). Similar results were found for hearts of SHR at high afterload. In WKY no significant decline in cardiac work or PCr/ATP-ratio was found under either low or under high afterload. The cardiac work capacity of hearts of SHR progressively decreases with increasing age and left ventricular hypertrophy. This myocardial dysfunction is closely associated with an impaired PCr/ATP-ratio, suggesting a decreased energy reserve.
