Abstract
Previously we reported that the beneficial effects of beta-adrenergic blockade in chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) were in part due to induction of bradycardia, which obviously affects myocardial energy requirements. From this observation we hypothesized that part of the pathophysiology of MR may involve faulty energy substrate utilization, which in turn might lead to potentially harmful lipid accumulation as observed in other models of heart failure. To explore this hypothesis, we measured triglyceride accumulation in the myocardia of dogs with chronic MR and then attempted to enhance myocardial metabolism by chronic administration of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonist rosiglitazone. Cardiac tissues were obtained from three groups of dogs that included control animals, dogs with MR for 3 mo without treatment, and dogs with MR for 6 mo that were treated with rosiglitazone (8 mg/day) for the last 3 mo of observation. Hemodynamics and contractile function (end-systolic stress-strain relationship, as measured by K index) were assessed at baseline, 3 mo of MR, and 6 mo of MR (3 mo of the treatment). Lipid accumulation in MR (as indicated by oil red O staining score and TLC analysis) was marked and ...Continue Reading
