Abstract

Experiments were performed to examine the effect of chronic inhibition of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform-1 (NHE-1) on cardiac hypertrophy of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). SHR were orally treated during 1 month with two different doses (0.3 and 3.0 mg/kg/day) of the NHE-1 inhibitor, cariporide, or nifedipine (10.0 mg/kg/day). The two doses of cariporide did not differ in their effects after 1 month of treatment, since both induced a slight decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) of approximately 6 mmHg and regression of the heart weight to body weight ratio (mg/g) from 3.28+/-0.05 to 3.04+/-0.05 (0.3 mg) and 2.99+/-0.10 (3.0 mg, P<0.05). Nifedipine, given for the same period, produced similar reduction in the hypertrophy index (3.03+/-0.05), but with a much greater decrease in arterial pressure (35.6+/-7.4 mmHg). Chronic treatment with cariporide induced a complete regression of the augmented cross sectional area of left ventricular myocytes without significant changes in collagen content, serum procollagen 1 propeptide levels or myocardial distensibility. NHE inhibition represents a novel approach to induce regression of pathological hypertrophy of the heart. The finding can be rationalized mechanistically by previ...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.

Cardiomegaly

Cardiomegaly, known as an enlarged heart, is a multifactorial disease with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Hypertension, pregnancy, exercise-induced and idiopathic causes are some mechanisms of cardiomegaly. Discover the latest research of cardiomegaly here.
