    Reversible pulmonary trunk banding: VII. Stress echocardiographic assessment of rapid ventricular hypertrophy in young goats
    (2013) FAVARO, Gustavo A. G.; ASSAD, Renato S.; ABDUCH, Maria C. D.; SILVA, Gustavo J. J.; GOMES, Guilherme S.; ANDRADE, Jose L.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; MOREIRA, Luiz Felipe P.
    Background: Ventricle retraining with abrupt systolic overload can cause myocardial edema and necrosis, followed by late ventricular failure. Intermittent systolic overload could minimize the inadequacy of conventional pulmonary artery banding. The present study compared ventricle function under dobutamine stress in 2 protocols of systolic overload in young goats. Methods: Nineteen young goats were divided into 3 groups: sham (n = 7; no systolic pressure overload), continuous (n = 6; systolic overload maintained for 96 hours), and intermittent (n = 6; 4 periods of 12-hour systolic overload, paired with a 12-hour resting period). Echocardiographic and hemodynamic evaluations were performed daily. The myocardial performance index and ejection fraction were evaluated at rest and during dobutamine stress. The goats were then killed for morphologic evaluation. Results: The intermittent group underwent less systolic overload than the continuous group (P <. 05). Nevertheless, both groups had increased right ventricular and septal masses compared with the sham group (P <. 0002). Echocardiography revealed a major increase in right ventricular wall thickness in the intermittent group (+64.8% +/- 23.37%) compared with the continuous group (+43.9% +/- 19.26%; P = .015). Only the continuous group remained with significant right ventricular dilation throughout the protocol (P <. 001). The intermittent group had a significantly better myocardial performance index at the end of the protocol, under resting and dobutamine infusion, compared with the continuous group (P <. 012). Conclusions: Both systolic overload protocols have induced rapid right ventricular hypertrophy. However, only the intermittent group had better preservation of right ventricular function at the end of the protocol, both at rest and during dobutamine infusion.

    Background. Traditional pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is not always suitable for mature subpulmonary ventricle retraining. We sought to assess in detail the myocardial morphologic adaptations of two different protocols for inducing right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy in an adult animal model. Methods. Eighteen adult goats were distributed into three groups: sham (no systolic overload), traditional (continuous systolic overload), and intermittent (daily 12-hour systolic overload). Systolic overload was adjusted to achieve a 0.7 RV-to-aortic pressure ratio. All animals underwent weekly echocardiographic studies, and hemodynamic evaluations were performed 3 times a week. After 4 weeks, the animals were humanely killed for morphologic assessment. Results. A 37.2% increase was observed in the RV wall thickness of the intermittent group (p < 0.05), but no significant echocardiographic changes were observed in the other two groups. The intermittent and traditional groups had a 55.7% and 36.7% increase in RV mass, respectively, compared with the sham group (p < 0.05). No differences were observed in myocardial water content of the three groups (p = 0.27). RV myocardial fiber and nuclei diameters were increased in the intermittent group compared with the sham group (p < 0.05). The area of collagen deposition in the RV interstitium was increased 98% in traditional group compared with the sham group (p < 0.05). No significant cellular proliferation occurred in any group. Conclusions. This study suggests that a more effective and harmless hypertrophy can be achieved in adult animals using intermittent PAB compared with the traditional approach.

    Ischemic preconditioning does not prevent placental dysfunction induced by fetal cardiac bypass
    (2022) ASSAD, Renato S.; GUEDES, Marcelo G. A.; AIELLO, Vera D.; THOMAZ, Petronio G.; ZANONI, Fernando L.; SAITO, Mauricio; SILVA, Ana Paula N. da; SILVA, Raphael dos S. Coutinho e; V, Marcelo Pinto; JATENE, Marcelo B.; MOREIRA, Luiz Felipe P.
    Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (rIPC) has been applied to attenuate tissue injury. We tested the hypothesis that rIPC applied to fetal lambs undergoing cardiac bypass (CB) reduces fetal systemic inflammation and placental dysfunction. Methods Eighteen fetal lambs were divided into three groups: sham, CB control, and CB rIPC. CB rIPC fetuses had a hindlimb tourniquet applied to occlude blood flow for four cycles of a 5-min period, followed by a 2-min reperfusion period. Both study groups underwent 30 min of normothermic CB. Fetal inflammatory markers, gas exchange, and placental and fetal lung morphological changes were assessed. Results The CB rIPC group achieved higher bypass flow rates (p < .001). After CB start, both study groups developed significant decreases in PaO2, mixed acidosis, and increased lactate levels (p < .0004). No significant differences in tissular edema were observed on fetal lungs and placenta (p > .391). Expression of Toll-like receptor 4 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in the placenta and fetal lungs did not differ among the three groups, as well as with vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) of fetal lungs (p > .225). Placental VCAM-1 expression was lower in the rIPC group (p < .05). Fetal interleukin-1 (IL-1) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) levels were lower at 60 min post-CB in the CB rIPC group (p < .05). There were no significant differences in tumor necrosis factor-alpha, prostaglandin E2, IL-6, and IL-10 plasma levels of the three groups at 60-min post-bypass (p > .133). Conclusion Although rIPC allowed increased blood flow during fetal CB and decreased IL-1 and TXA2 levels and placental VCAM-1, it did not prevent placental dysfunction in fetal lambs undergoing CB.
