Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To investigate the role of ventricular and atrial beta-adrenoceptor activation by isoprenaline in the genesis of rhythm disorders and risk of fibrillation in the healthy or ischaemic heart. METHODS:The study was performed in anaesthetized, open-chest pigs. Electrical fibrillation threshold (EFT) of the ventricles was measured with trains of diastolic stimuli of 100 ms duration synchronized with respect to the R-waves and delivered to the myocardium by a subepicardial electrode introduced into the area which could be subjected to ischaemia. Monophasic action potential (MAP) and effective refractory period (ERP) were recorded in the same area. Ischaemia was obtained by complete occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery near its origin during increasing periods (30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240 s). RESULTS:At a rate varying according to the action exerted by isoprenaline on the sinus rate, EFT decreased by about 30% in the healthy heart during the infusion of 0.5 micrograms/kg/min isoprenaline under the influence of the acceleration of cardiac beats. In the ischaemic heart, sinus tachycardia accelerated the fall in EFT and the reduction in MAP duration and resulted sooner in spontaneous ventricular fibrillation. During ventricular pacing at a constant rate of 200 beats/min, isoprenaline raised EFT by nearly 80% in the absence of ischaemia, but this rise was abolished by ischaemia, at least of no-flow type. CONCLUSION:Tachycardia produced by activation of atrial adrenoceptors decreases EFT in the healthy heart and aggravates its fall in the ischaemic heart. Ventricular adrenoceptor activation counteracts the EFT fall related to tachycardia in the healthy heart, but not in the ischaemic heart. Therefore, the protection against ischaemic fibrillation due to beta-blockers would be essentially attributable to their action on the sinus nodes.
