Early alterations of the baroreceptor control of heart rate in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

Experimental coronary occlusion is accompanied by an acute impairment of the baroreceptor-heart rate reflex. This study was planned to determine whether this impairment also occurs in humans. In 30 patients admitted to a coronary care unit for an anterior (n = 14) or inferior (n = 16) transmural myocardial infarction (MI), we measured 1) the increase in RR interval induced by stimulating carotid baroreceptors through progressive reductions in neck chamber pressure, 2) the increase in RR interval induced by stimulating arterial baroreceptors through intravenous boluses of phenylephrine, and 3) the reduction in RR interval induced by deactivating arterial baroreceptors through intravenous boluses of nitroglycerin. Measurements were performed 49.5 +/- 2.4 hours (mean +/- SEM) after the MI. The results were compared with those of five age-matched patients admitted to the coronary care unit for chest pain and found free from ischemic heart disease. The sensitivity of the carotid baroreceptor-heart rate reflex (slope of the linear regression of RR interval over neck pressure changes) was markedly less in MI than in control patients (3.8 +/- 0.5 vs. 5.9 +/- 0.6 msec/mm Hg, p less than 0.05), the reduction being similar in patients wit...Continue Reading
