The importance of heart rate in isoprenaline-induced takotsubo-like cardiac dysfunction in rats.

Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is an acute cardiac syndrome characterized by regional myocardial akinesia that cannot be attributed to a culprit lesion in coronary arteries. Cardiac overstimulation by catecholamines in the setting of stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of TS. While catecholamine-induced alterations in cardiac contractility have been studied as part of the causal pathway in TS, the importance of catecholamine-mediated tachycardia has not been studied. Our aim was to explore whether the reduction in heart rate, either by pharmacological suppression of the sinoatrial node with ivabradine or by surgical induction of third-degree atrioventricular block, prevents isoprenaline-induced TS-like akinesia in an experimental animal model. We used 142 female Sprague-Dawley rats in two separate protocols. The TS-like phenotype was induced by an intraperitoneal bolus dose of isoprenaline (ISO) 50 mg/kg. In the first protocol, we randomized 54 rats to ivabradine 10 min before ISO (IVAB1), ivabradine 10 min after ISO (IVAB2), or saline 10 min before ISO (CONTROL). In the second protocol, we randomized 88 rats to surgically induced complete heart block (CHB) or sham operation (CTRL) 10 min before the administration of ISO. All dru...Continue Reading
