β-Blockade improves adjacent regional sympathetic innervation during postinfarction remodeling.

چکیده
The effect of β-blockade on left ventricular (LV) remodeling, when added to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ACEI) after anterior myocardial infarction (MI), is incompletely understood. On day 2 after coronary ligation-induced anteroapical infarction, 17 sheep were randomized to ramipril (ACEI, n = 8) or ramipril and metoprolol (ACEI-β, n = 9). Magnetic resonance imaging was performed before and 8 wk after MI to measure changes in LV end-diastolic, end-systolic, and stroke volume indexes, LV mass index, ejection fraction (EF), and regional percent intramyocardial circumferential shortening.123I-labeled m-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and fluorescent microspheres before and after adenosine were infused before death at 8 wk post-MI for quantitation of sympathetic innervation, blood flow, and blood flow reserve in adjacent and remote noninfarcted regions. Infarct size, regional blood flow, blood flow reserve, and the increase in LV mass and LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volume indexes were similar between groups. However, EF fell less over the 8-wk study period in the ACEI-β group (-13 ± 11 vs. -22 ± 4% in ACEI, P < 0.05). The ratio of adjacent to remote region123I-MIBG uptake was greater in ACEI-β animals than in the ACEI group (0.93 ± 0.06 vs. 0.86 ± 0.07, P < 0.04). When added to ACE inhibition after transmural anteroapical MI, β-blockade improves EF and adjacent regional sympathetic innervation but does not alter LV size.

Sympathetic innervation during development is necessary for pancreatic islet architecture and functional maturation.
Sympathetic neurons depend on target-derived neurotrophic cues to control their survival and growth. However, whether sympathetic innervation contributes reciprocally to the development of target tissues is less clear. Here, we report that sympathetic innervation is necessary for the formation of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and for their functional maturation. Genetic or pharmacological...
متن کاملCombined angiotensin II receptor antagonism and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition further attenuates postinfarction left ventricular remodeling.
BACKGROUND ACE inhibition (ACEI) attenuates post-myocardial infarction (MI) LV remodeling, but the effects of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)) antagonism alone or in combination with ACEI are unclear. Accordingly, we investigated the effects of AT(1) antagonism, ACEI, and their combination in a well-characterized ovine postinfarction model. METHODS AND RESULTS Beginning 2 days after tra...
متن کاملFocal myocardial infarction induces global remodeling of cardiac sympathetic innervation: neural remodeling in a spatial context.
Myocardial infarction (MI) induces neural and electrical remodeling at scar border zones. The impact of focal MI on global functional neural remodeling is not well understood. Sympathetic stimulation was performed in swine with anteroapical infarcts (MI; n = 9) and control swine (n = 9). A 56-electrode sock was placed over both ventricles to record electrograms at baseline and during left, righ...

Hibernating myocardium results in partial sympathetic denervation and nerve sprouting.
Hibernating myocardium due to chronic repetitive ischemia is associated with regional sympathetic nerve dysfunction and spontaneous arrhythmic death in the absence of infarction. Although inhomogeneity in regional sympathetic innervation is an acknowledged substrate for sudden death, the mechanism(s) responsible for these abnormalities in viable, dysfunctional myocardium (i.e., neural stunning ...
