Abstract
The determinants of hemodynamic outcome during ventricular tachycardia (VT) are not well understood. In the present study, we addressed the relative contributions of arterial and cardiopulmonary baroreflexes to the sympathetic and arterial pressure responses to VT or ventricular pacing (VP) in dogs with inducible VT. Responses of renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) to induced VT or VP (220 to 280 beats per minute) were determined in 12 dogs with a healed anteroapical infarction and inducible VT and in 8 control dogs. The responses were determined with all reflexes intact, after selective denervation of either arterial or cardiopulmonary baroreflexes, and after combined denervation. Differences between intact and denervated conditions were used to assess the relative effects of each baroreflex. In the infarct group, responses during VT were comparable to those during VP. RSNA and PCWP increased significantly (P<.01), whereas MAP decreased significantly (P<.001) during VT or VP with baroreflexes intact in both groups. The increase in RSNA and the recovery of MAP during sustained VP were greater in the infarct group (P<.05); in addition, the increase ...Continue Reading
