Decompensation of Pressure-Overload Hypertrophy in Gaq-Overexpressing Mice
Background—Receptor-mediated activation of myocardial Gq signaling is postulated as a biochemical mechanism transducing pressure-overload hypertrophy. The specific effects of Gq activation on the functional and morphological adaptations to pressure overload are not known. Methods and Results—To determine the effects of intrinsic myocyte Gaq signaling on the left ventricular hypertrophic respons...
متن کاملRV pressure overload: from hypertrophy to failure.
In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), right ventricular (RV) adaptation is essential to overcome the chronic increases in RV pressure overload. Ultimately, RV compensatory mechanisms are not sufficient and patients succumb to RV failure. The processes underlying the transition of RV adaptation to RV failure are not well understood. In this review, we propose that important insights in RV ad...
متن کاملPressure overload-induced hypertrophy in transgenic mice selectively overexpressing AT2 receptors in ventricular myocytes.
The role of the angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptor in cardiac hypertrophy remains controversial. We studied the effects of AT2 receptors on chronic pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy in transgenic mice selectively overexpressing AT2 receptors in ventricular myocytes. Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy was induced by ascending aorta banding (AS). Transgenic mice overexpressing AT2 (A...
متن کاملRegression of pressure overload-induced left ventricular hypertrophy in mice.
As a prelude to investigating the mechanism of regression of pressure overload-induced left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH), we studied the time course for the development and subsequent regression of LVH as well as accompanying alterations in cardiac function, histology, and gene expression. Mice were subjected to aortic banding for 4 or 8 wk to establish LVH, and regression was initiated b...
متن کاملDirect monitoring pressure overload predicts cardiac hypertrophy in mice.
Pressure overload (POL) is a classical model for studying cardiac hypertrophy, but there has been no direct measure of hemodynamics in a conscious ambulatory mouse model of POL. We used abdominal aortic constriction to produce POL and radiotelemetry to measure the blood pressure and heart rate for three weeks. The cardiac size correlated with the systolic pressure in the last week is better tha...
