Effect of Temperature on Isoproterenol-Induced Increases in Left Ventricular Developed Pressure

  • Description:
    The goal of this project was to determine the effects of elevated cardiac temperature on preload-dependent and preload-independent regulation of left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) in Langendorff-perfused, electrically paced (420 bpm), Sprague-Dawley rat hearts. LVDP responses to steady-state isoproterenol infusions (10-8 M) were determined at 37, 38, 39, and 40 degrees C. Preload-dependent LVDP was determined at 37 and 40 degrees C. Isoproterenol-induced LVDP and preload-dependent LVDP time controls were conducted in a separate group maintained at 37 degrees C. The percent increase in LVDP during isoproterenol infusion significantly decreased at 40 degrees C to 42+/-6 (SE), compared to 55+/-9, 55+/-6, and 53+/-7% at 37, 38, and 39 degrees C, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the percent increase in LVDP to isoproterenol among the corresponding time controls (50+/-6, 47+/-3, 56+/-4, and 56+/-5%). Preload-dependent LVDP decreased across the experimental protocol, but there were no cardiac temperature effects. These data indicate that beta-adrenergic mediated contractility is not altered by moderate heating from normothermia but is compromised at very high temperatures (40 degrees C). Cardiac temperatures from 37 to 40 degrees C do not alter the inherent preload-dependent LVDP, indicating that the Frank-Starling relation is not directly affected within this temperature range.
