Vasopressor mechanisms in acute aortic coarctation hypertension.
Angiotensin II (ANG II) and vasopressin (AVP) act together with the mechanical effect of aortic constriction in the onset of acute aortic coarctation hypertension. Blockade of ANG II and AVP V1 receptors demonstrated that ANG II acts on the prompt (5 min) rise in pressure whereas AVP is responsible for the maintenance (30-45 min) of the arterial pressure elevation during aortic coarctation. Hor...
متن کاملPhysiopathogenesis of acute aortic coarctation hypertension in conscious rats.
We investigated the role of vasopressin, angiotensin II, and catecholamines in the onset of acute (45-minute) aortic coarctation hypertension in conscious rats. Partial aortic constriction was performed by means of a pneumatic cuff placed around the abdominal aorta above the renal arteries for 15 or 45 minutes. A sham-operated group was used as control. Mean carotid pressure before aortic const...
متن کاملAcute Type A Dissection and Acute Inferior MI Complicating Aortic Coarctation: A Case Report
Aortic coarctation is a rare but dangerous condition. Presence of aortic dissection in addition to coarctation is significantly rarer and more life-threatening. Here, we present a case of acute inferior MI due to aortic dissection complicating a native aortic coarctation. A 17-year-old boy was admitted to our emergency department due to severe chest pain and loss of consciousness. His ele...
متن کاملAortic hypertrophy and "waterlogging" in the development of coarctation hypertension.
To study the mechanisms and roles of vascular structural changes during the development of hypertension, we coarcted or sham-coarcted the abdominal aorta of rats. At intervals of 3 to 56 days later, we obtained standardized segments of thoracic and abdominal aortas for measurement of dry weight, water content, and amino acid content. Carotid arterial pressure was elevated by day 5 in coarcted r...
متن کاملAcute renal failure with ACE inhibition in aortic coarctation.
A 43 year old man with inoperable aortic coarctation and severe hypertension requiring near maximal anti-hypertensive treatment was admitted in severe heart failure. After 2 weeks of treatment the heart failure and blood pressure were incompletely controlled and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor was started. Serum creatinine was normal before starting the ACE inhibitor and on discha...
