Regional Hemodynamics

The influences of the site of microsphere injection (intra-atrial vs. intraventricular) and positioning of the left ventricular catheter (aortoventricular vs. atrioventricular) on systemic, renal, and coronary hemodynamics were evaluated in anesthetized rats. The effect of anesthesia on aortoventricular catheter positioning was also evaluated. In anesthetized and open-chest preparations, the systemic and renal hemodynamics were not affected by catheter position or site of microsphere injection; however, myocardial blood flow was dependent on these variables. Variations in coronary blood flow were significantly greater when the catheter was in the aortoventricular position (34 +/- 3%) than with an atrioventricular catheter (11 +/- 2%, P less than 0.01), irrespective of whether the microspheres were injected into the atrium or ventricle. Comparison of anesthetized and conscious rats with aortoventricular catheter indicated lesser variability in coronary blood flow in the conscious rats (P less than 0.01). Therefore, the greater variability of coronary flow measurements in anesthetized rats was caused by the position of the cardiac catheter in the aortoventricular route. However, the variability caused by the aortoventricular catheter was much less in conscious rats. Therefore, coronary flow hemodynamic measurements (microsphere technique) are less variable when they are made in conscious rats.

Bradykinin was infused intravenously and into the right renal artery of conscious rats that were chronically instrumented with catheters and miniaturized pulsed-Doppler flow probes. The effects on regional hemodynamics were compared with those in animals in which the infused kidney was denervated as well as in animals anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. In intact rats bradykinin (1 microgram/min) caused an immediate increase in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP, 27 +/- 4 mmHg), heart rate (HR, 67 +/- 11 beats/min), mesenteric resistance (MR, 32 +/- 10%), and both right (RRR, 42 +/- 14%) and left renal resistance (LRR 21 +/- 8%). These effects were significantly different from those during intravenous infusion of the same dose of bradykinin (MAP, 6 +/- 3 mmHg; HR, 31 +/- 7 beats/min; MR, -21 +/- 5%; RRR, 8 +/- 4%; LRR, 6 +/- 3%). Pentobarbital greatly attenuated the responses to intrarenal bradykinin. In conscious animals denervation of the infused kidney completely abolished the cardiovascular effects of intrarenal bradykinin. In a separate group of animals, chlorisondamine (7.5 mg/kg iv) completely blocked the increases in MAP and HR during intrarenal bradykinin (1 microgram/min). It is concluded that selective renal administration of bradykinin alters afferent renal nerve activity and that this results in hemodynamic changes consistent with efferent sympathetic activation.
