ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO- Avaliar, em ratos, se o verapamil (VERA) apresenta efeito protetor a hipertofia do ventrículo esquerdo (HVE) induzida pelo isoproterenol (ISO).MÉTODOS- Foram estudaos 72 ratos, machos, adultos, divididos em quatro grupos que, durante oito dias, receberamos tratamentos: controle (CON), VERA (10mg/kg),ISO(0,3mg/kg) e VERA+ISO.Mediaram a frequência cardíaca (FC),pressäo arterial (PA), peso do ventrículo esquerdo(PSVE) e a relaçäo do PSVE pelo peso do rato (ve/p).Foram retiradas amontras do ventrículo esquerdo (VE) para estudo morfológico pela microscopia de luz.RESULTADOS- Em relaçäo ao PSVE, obtiveram-se os seguintes resultados: CON 0,14g, VERA 0,144g, ISO 0,20lg, VERA+ISO 0,148g, com diferença significante entre o grupo ISO e os demais (p<0,05).A análise do VE/P mostrou o mesmo comportamento.As alteraçöes estruturais induzidas pelo ISO incluíram hipertrofia cardiomiocitária e aumento do tecido colágeno.No grupo VERA+ISO observou-se açäo protetora em relaçäo à hipertrofia (ISO 97,5 por cento vs VERA+ISO 87 por centro, p<0,001).CONCLUSAO-VERA preveniu as manifestaçöes deletérias da açäo do ISO sobre o miocárdio dos ratos.Resultado ocorrido por um efeito protetor que inibiu a síntese do colágeno e a hipertrofia das fibras musculares do coraçäo


Purpose - We evaluated whether verapamil (VERA) has a protective effect on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) induced by Isoproterenol (ISO) in rat. Methods - Seventy two male adult rats were divided in four groups and treated accordingly during eight days: Control (CON), VERA (10mg/kg), ISO (0.3mg/kg) and VERA+ISO. It was measured in 10 animals from each group heart rate, blood pressure, left ventricle dry weight and ratio between left ventricular weight (LVW) and rat weight. Samples were taken from the left ventricle to be examined by light microscopy. Results - LVW of the CON group was 0.145g, of VERA was 0.144g, of ISO with 0.201g, and of VERA+ISO was 0.148g. The difference between ISO group and others was statistically significant (p<0.05). The LVW/W ratio also showed similar result. The myocardial pattern induced by ISO was left hypertrophy and collagen content increase. In VERA+ISO group it was found a proctetive effect to hypertrophy (ISO group 97% vs VERA + ISO 87%; p<0.001) and increased collagen content. Conclusion - VERA prevents the deleterious effects of ISO in the myocardium. Probably this action is due to prevention the myocardial hypertrophy and proliferation of collagen tissue
