Hemodynamic changes on right ventricular hypertrophy induced by monocrotaline in rats / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the hemodynamic changes on right ventricular hypertrophy induced by monocrotaline in rats . Methods Male SD rats were given monocrotaline 60 mg/kg by a single intraperitoneal injection ,the mRNA expression of RV/BW , RVHI and ANF were took as the indicators .Intraperitoneal injection with 10% chloral hydrate was performed ,the artery cannulae and right ventricular catheter were inserted ,and the right ventricle pressure was measured .Results The RVHI and RV/BW were significantly increased in M2W and M4W groups ,compared with vehicle control (P<0 .01) ,and the ANF mRNA expression was significantly increased in both groups .Bp and HR did not change in model groups .RVEDP markedly decreased (P< 0 .01) and RVP ,± dp/dtmax ,t dp/dtmax and Vpm increased (P<0 .001) in M2W groups ;and all parameters increased significantly in M4W groups (P<0 .01) .Conclusion Monocrotaline can induce RVH ,which accompany hemodynamic changes and the systolic and dias‐tolic dysfunction in right ventricle may eventually cause right heart failure .
