The hemodynamic and metabolic effects of long-term (5 day) infusion of human atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were examined in conscious chronically instrumented sheep. Infusion of ANF at 20 micrograms/h, a rate below the threshold for an acute natriuretic effect, decreased blood pressure by 9 +/- 1 mmHg on day 5, associated with a fall in calculated total peripheral resistance. On day 1, ANF reduced cardiac output, stroke volume, and blood volume, effects that were associated with an increase in heart rate and calculated total peripheral resistance and a small decrease in blood pressure. On days 4 and 5 there was a small increase in urine volume and sodium excretion. On day 5 an increase in water intake and body weight was observed. No change was seen in plasma concentrations of renin, arginine vasopressin, glucose, adrenocorticotropic hormone, or protein. This study suggests that the short-term hypotensive effect of ANF results from a reduction in cardiac output associated with a fall in both stroke volume and effective blood volume. However, after 5 days of infusion, ANF lowers blood pressure via a reduction in total peripheral resistance.

Central blood volume (cardiac output times mean transit time) from right atrium to ascending aorta was determined by the indicator-dilution method in 22 open-chested dogs which had previously had their red blood cells tagged with Cr51. The actual amount of blood in the heart and lungs was calculated from the total radioactivity in the blended homogenate of these organs. The two measurements of central blood volume correlated well ( r = +.88), the indicator-dilution volumes averaging 12% greater. The discrepancy between measurements is probably related to the pulmonary circuit having a lower hematocrit than the large vessels. The results substantiate the use of the Stewart-Hamilton formula (cardiac output times mean transit time) to measure central blood volume.

Induced Hypertension

To determine whether atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) can reverse angiotensin (ANG II)-induced venoconstriction, ANP was infused (0.3 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) in the presence of ANG II-induced hypertension in six ganglion-blocked dogs. ANG II was initially administered to increase mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) 50% above control. ANG II did not change heart rate or left ventricular rate of pressure development (LV dP/dt) but increased total peripheral vascular resistance (TPVR) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). Mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP) increased, whereas cardiac output and venous compliance decreased. Unstressed vascular volume did not change, but central blood volume increased. ANP infusion during ANG II-induced hypertension resulted in a decrease in MAP, but TPVR did not change. There were no changes in heart rate or LV dP/dt. ANP decreased cardiac output further. LVEDP returned to base line with ANP. ANP also decreased MCFP and normalized venous compliance. There was no significant change in total blood volume, but central blood volume decreased. In summary, ANP can reverse the venoconstriction but not the arterial vasoconstriction produced by ANG II. The decrease in MAP was due to a decrease in cardiac output that resulted from venodilatation and aggravation of the preload-afterload mismatch produced by ANG II alone. Because TPVR did not change when MAP fell, we conclude that the interaction between ANG II and ANP occurs primarily in the venous circulation.

We determined whether the deleterious effects of dehydration and hyperthermia on cardiovascular function during upright exercise were attenuated by elevating central blood volume with supine exercise. Seven trained men [maximal oxygen consumption (V˙o 2 max) 4.7 ± 0.4 l/min (mean ± SE)] cycled for 30 min in the heat (35°C) in the upright and in the supine positions (V˙o 2 2.93 ± 0.27 l/min) while maintaining euhydration by fluid ingestion or while being dehydrated by 5% of body weight after 2 h of upright exercise. When subjects were euhydrated, esophageal temperature (Tes) was 37.8–38.0°C in both body postures. Dehydration caused equal hyperthermia during both upright and supine exercise (Tes = 38.7–38.8°C). During upright exercise, dehydration lowered stroke volume (SV), cardiac output, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and cutaneous vascular conductance and increased heart rate and plasma catecholamines [30 ± 6 ml, 3.0 ± 0.7 l/min, 6 ± 2 mmHg, 22 ± 8%, 14 ± 2 beats/min, and 50–96%, respectively; all P < 0.05]. In contrast, during supine exercise, dehydration did not cause significant alterations in MAP, cutaneous vascular conductance, or plasma catecholamines. Furthermore, supine versus upright exercise attenuated the increases in heart rate (7 ± 2 vs. 9 ± 1%) and the reductions in SV (13 ± 4 vs. 21 ± 3%) and cardiac output (8 ± 3 vs. 14 ± 3%) (all P< 0.05). These results suggest that the decline in cutaneous vascular conductance and the increase in plasma norepinephrine concentration, independent of hyperthermia, are associated with a reduction in central blood volume and a lower arterial blood pressure.

Mean Circulation

In sympathectomized-splenectomized dogs under pentobarbital anesthesia, the total blood volume averaged 78 ml/kg, with 20% in the splanchnic circulation and 28% in the central blood volume. These values are almost the same as those found in the splenectomized (control) dogs with the sympathetic system intact. The over-all and the splanchnic Fcells factors are also not significantly different between these two groups. The sympathectomized animals had lower arterial pressure, cardiac output, and splanchnic blood flow, but the resistances calculated for the total and the splanchnic circulations were not significantly different from those of the control dogs. The mean circulation times for the total, the central, and the splanchnic circulations were all longer in the sympathectomized dogs. The data indicate that, under pentobarbital anesthesia, sympathectomized dogs are characterized by slower blood flows without any significant changes in either the blood volume or vascular resistance.

Muscle Metaboreflex

Underperfusion of active skeletal muscle causes metabolites to accumulate and stimulate group III and IV skeletal muscle afferents, which triggers a powerful pressor response termed the muscle metaboreflex. Muscle metaboreflex activation (MMA) during submaximal dynamic exercise in healthy individuals increases arterial pressure mainly via substantial increases in cardiac output (CO). The increases in CO occur via the combination of tachycardia and increased ventricular contractility. Importantly, MMA also elicits substantial central blood volume mobilization, which allows the ventricular responses to sustain the increases in CO. Otherwise preload would fall and the increases in CO could not be maintained. In subjects with systolic heart failure (HF), the ability to increase CO during exercise and MMA is markedly reduced, which has been attributed to impaired ventricular contractility. Whether the ability to maintain preload during MMA in HF is preserved is unknown. Using a conscious chronically instrumented canine model, we observed that MMA in HF is able to raise central blood volume similarly as in normal subjects. Therefore, the loss of the ability to raise CO during MMA in HF is not because of the loss of the ability to mobilize blood volume centrally. NEW & NOTEWORTHY In normal subjects during dynamic exercise muscle metaboreflex activation elicits large increases in cardiac output that occur via increases in heart rate, ventricular contractility, and, importantly, marked central blood volume mobilization that acts to maintain ventricular preload, thereby allowing the changes in cardiac function to maintain the increases in cardiac output. In subjects with heart failure, the ability to raise cardiac output during muscle metaboreflex activation is impaired. We investigated whether this is because of the inability to maintain ventricular preload. We found that this reflex is still able to elicit large increases in central blood volume, and therefore the limited ability to raise cardiac output likely stems from ventricular dysfunction and not the ability to maintain preload.

Vascular Capacitance

The relationship between stressed and total blood volume, total vascular capacitance, central blood volume, cardiac output (CO), and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (Ppcw) was investigated in pacing-induced acute and chronic heart failure. Acute heart failure was induced in anesthetized splenectomized dogs by a volume load (20 mL/kg over 10 min) during rapid right ventricular pacing at 250 beats/min (RRVP) for 60 min. Chronic heart failure was induced by continuous RRVP for 2–6 weeks (average 24 ± 2 days). Total vascular compliance and capacitance were calculated from the mean circulatory filling pressure (Pmcf) during transient circulatory arrest after acetylcholine at three different circulating volumes. Stressed blood volume was calculated as a product of compliance and Pmcf, with the total blood volume measured by a dye dilution. Central blood volume (CBV) and CO were measured by thermodilution. Central (heart and lung) vascular capacitance was estimated from the plot of Ppcw against CBV. Acute volume loading without RRVP increased capacitance and CO, whereas after volume loading with RRVP, capacitance and CO were unaltered from baseline. Chronic RRVP reduced capacitance and CO. All interventions, volume ± RRVP or chronic RRVP, increased stressed and central blood volumes and Ppcw. Acute or chronic RRVP reduced central vascular capacitance. Cardiac output was increased when stressed and unstressed blood volumes increased proportionately as during volume loading alone. When CO was reduced and Ppcw increased, as during chronic RRVP or acute RRVP plus a volume load, stressed blood volume was increased and unstressed blood volume was decreased. Thus, interventions that reduced CO and increased Ppcw also increased stressed and reduced unstressed blood volume and total vascular capacitance.Key words: vascular capacitance, vascular compliance, central blood volume, rapid ventricular pacing, dogs, heart failure.
