Abstract

Isolated rat papillary muscles of the right ventricle were used to discover the origin of reduced myocardial efficiency in chronic heart failure. Right ventricular hypertrophy was induced by monocrotaline injection, causing pulmonary hypertension. Control (n = 7) and hypertrophied (n = 11) papillary muscles were subjected to sinusoidal length changes at 37 degrees C and 5 Hz with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 15% of the length giving maximum force (L(max)) after being stretched to 92.5% of L(max). Isometric tension at L(max) was similar in control and hypertrophied muscles. Work was assessed from the area encompassed by force-length loops. Work per loop was 0.93 +/- 0.11 and 0.84 +/- 0.11 microJ/mm(3) (means +/- SE) for control and hypertrophied muscles, respectively (P = 0.591). Suprabasal O(2) uptake per work loop was 5.7 +/- 0.7 pmol/mm(3) in control muscles and 8.7 +/- 1.7 pmol/mm(3) in hypertrophied muscles (P = 0.133). Net mechanical efficiency was calculated from the ratio of work output and suprabasal O(2) uptake. The efficiency of hypertrophied muscles was 29.1 +/- 3.7% and was smaller than in control muscles (43.7 +/- 2.2%, P = 0.016). The right ventricular cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area increased from 272 +/- 17 mi...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
