چکیده
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate whether transcatheter renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) interfere with the development of left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony during the progression of heart failure (HF). METHODS Nineteen beagles were randomly divided into sham-operated group (six dogs), control group (seven dogs), and RSD group (six dogs). Sham-operated group were implanted with pacemakers without pacing; Control group were implanted with pacemakers and underwent 3 weeks of rapid right ventricular pacing; and RSD group underwent catheter-based RSD bilaterally and were simultaneously implanted with pacemakers. Both LV strain and LV dyssynchrony were analyzed via 2D speckle-tracking strain echocardiography to evaluate LV function. Longitudinal dyssynchrony was determined as the standard deviation for time-to-peak speckle-tracking strain on apical 4- and 2-chamber views. Radial and circumferential dyssynchrony was determined as the standard deviation for time-to-peak speckle-tracking strain in mid- and base-LV short-axis views. Each myocardial function was also evaluated by averaging the peak systolic strains. LV systolic pressure (LVSP) and LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were measured. The LV interstitial fibrosis was determined by histological analysis. Plasma angiotensin II (Ang II), aldosterone and norepinephrine (NE) levels were also measured. RESULTS After 3 weeks, all of the dogs in both the control and RSD groups showed greater LV end-diastolic volume compared with the sham-operated group; however, the dogs in the RSD group had a higher LV ejection fraction (LVEF) than the dogs in the control group (p<0.001). The LV systolic strains were higher in the RSD group than in the control group (p<0.001 for longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain, respectively). The levels of LV dyssynchrony were lower in the RSD group than in the control group (p<0.001 for longitudinal, circumferential and radial dyssynchrony, respectively). Compared with dogs with control alone, RSD dogs had lower LV end-diastolic pressures and less fibrous tissue. The levels of plasma Ang II, aldosterone and NE were lower in the RSD group than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS RSD inhibites the development of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony during the progression of heart failure in dogs.

In heart failure secondary to chronic mechanical overload, cardiac sympathetic neurons demonstrate depressed catecholamine synthetic and transport function. To assess the potential of sympathetic neuronal imaging for detection of depressed transport function, serial scintigrams were acquired after the intravenous administration of metaiodobenzylguanidine [131I] to 13 normal dogs, 3 autotranspla...

SEE PAGE 22 P ulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is an angioproliferative disorder of the lung circulation that results in a heart failure syndrome with a grim prognosis (1). Similar to other forms of left ventricular failure, right ventricular failure (RVF) is progressive and largely incurable unless the primary cause can be eliminated (i.e., lung transplantation for PAH). Although pressure ov...

The objective of this study was to find out the implication of QRS duration in dogs with rapid pacing-induced heart failure. Sixteen Beagle dogs were implanted with transvenous cardiac pacemakers and underwent rapid right ventricular pacing for 3 weeks at 260 bpm to induce heart failure. Dogs were divided into two groups according to the QRS duration: 9 with normal QRS duration (<100 ms) and 7 ...
