Abstract

Changes in left ventricular internal diameter resulting from increasing intrapericardial pressure induced by increasing the pericardial fluid volume were studied in closed chest, anaesthetized dogs. Left ventricular internal diameters were measured by placing an ultrasonic dimension catheter in the left ventricle at the time of the experiments. With increasing pericardial pressure, significant increases occurred in heart rate and mean left atrial pressure. Left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic diameter progressively decreased as the pericardial pressure was elevated. After beta adrenergic blockade with propranolol (1 mg/kg), the decline in end-systolic diameter during pericardial tamponade was significantly reduced. These observations indicate the importance of the systolic reserve and the role of beta adrenergic receptors in the adaptation of the left ventricle to increases in pericardial tamponade.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
