The effect of hypoxemia on total vascular compliance was studied in anesthetized dogs using a venous bypass technique. Cardiac output was kept constant with an extracorporeal pump and respiration controlled to maintain normocapnia. When nitrogen was added to the respired gas to produce an arterial [Formula: see text], total vascular compliance was rapidly and significantly reduced to 0.93 ml (mm Hg)−1 kg−1 with incomplete recovery to baseline values of 1.30 ± 0.06 ml (mm Hg)−1 kg−1 during subsequent ventilation with 100% oxygen. Acute heart failure was induced by gradual aortic constriction. Ventilation with 100% oxygen failed to prevent a gradual reduction in total vascular compliance to 0.86 ml (mm Hg)−1 kg−1 from a baseline value of 1.23 ± 0.06 ml (mm Hg)−1 kg−1. Ventilation with 100% oxygen following the reduction in vascular compliance during acute heart failure also failed to significantly alter this parameter. Thus, improvement of arterial oxygen tension in patients with acute heart failure would be beneficial in providing greater oxygen delivery to the tissues without abolishing a compensatory mechanism of reduced vascular compliance which attempts to maintain a cardiac filling gradient of pressure.

Effective vascular compliance determined by the ΔV/ΔP relationship was measured repeatedly in anesthetized open-chest dogs without circulatory arrest utilizing a closed circuit venous bypass system with a constant cardiac output. Production of acute heart failure by gradual aortic constriction was associated with a significant decrease in total effective vascular compliance. The effect of loading and 20-min maintenance doses of different drugs on vascular compliance of animals in acute heart failure was studied. Phenoxybenzamine (total dose 2 mg/kg) produced a rapid and sustained increase in effective vascular compliance and theophylline (12 mg/kg) produced an increase which was more gradual in development than with phenoxybenzamine. Morphine (1 mg/kg) produced a rapid but transient increase in compliance. In contrast, ethacrynic acid (100 mg) or nitroglycerin (0.6 or 1.2 mg) did not alter vascular compliance significantly. These agents differ markedly in the magnitude and time-course of effect on effective vascular compliance.

In this work, we determined the total effective vascular compliance of a global closed-loop model for the cardiovascular system by performing an infusion test of 500 mL of blood in four minutes. Our mathematical model includes a network of arteries and veins where blood flow is described by means of a one-dimensional nonlinear hyperbolic PDE system and zero-dimensional models for other cardiovascular compartments. Some mathematical modifications were introduced to better capture the physiology of the infusion test: (1) a physiological distribution of vascular compliance and total blood volume was implemented, (2) a nonlinear representation of venous resistances and compliances was introduced, and (3) main regulatory mechanisms triggered by the infusion test where incorporated into the model. By means of presented in silico experiment, we show that effective total vascular compliance is the result of the interaction between the assigned constant physical vascular compliance and the capacity of the cardiovascular system to adapt to new situations via regulatory mechanisms.

To define the changes in the venous circulation in chronic left ventricular (LV) failure, we measured the mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP), blood volume, and effective vascular compliance in conscious rats with heart failure, 3 wk after coronary ligation. Rats with myocardial infarction and LV end-diastolic pressure (EDP) greater than 15 mmHg were considered to have chronic heart failure. Rats with chronic heart failure (n = 11) showed an increase (P less than 0.001) in LV EDP to 24 +/- 2 mmHg compared with 6 +/- 1 mmHg in sham-operated (n = 9) and 7 +/- 1 mmHg in normal (n = 6) rats. In the rats with chronic heart failure the MCFP was increased to 9.9 +/- 0.2 mmHg (P less than 0.001) compared with 7.6 +/- 0.2 mmHg in the sham-operated and 7.7 +/- 0.2 mmHg in the normal rats. Effective vascular compliance was determined from MCFP-blood volume curves. In rats with chronic heart failure, the effective vascular compliance was decreased to 2.40 +/- 0.08 ml X mmHg-1 X kg-1 from 3.34 +/- 0.16 in sham-operated rats and 3.35 +/- 0.22 ml X mmHg-1 X kg-1 in normal rats. The blood volume and the unstressed vascular volume of the rats with chronic heart failure were not statistically different from the sham-operated rats. These results suggest that venous capacitance is decreased in chronic heart failure, due to a decrease in effective vascular compliance with no significant change in unstressed vascular volume. Hexamethonium chloride did not alter the effective vascular compliance of the rats with heart failure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
