Characterization of Aging-Associated Cardiac Diastolic Dysfunction

Aims

Diastolic dysfunction is common in geriatric heart failure. A reliable parameter to predict myocardium stiffness and relaxation under similar end-diastolic pressure is being developed. We propose a material and mathematical model for calculating myocardium stiffness based on the concept of linear correlation between and wedge pressure.

Methods and Results

We enrolled 919 patients (male: ). Compared with the younger population of controls (mean age: years; ; male: ), the elderly (mean age: ; ; male: ) had a greater prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease (all ). We collected their M-mode and 2-D echocardiographic volumetric parameters, intraventricular filling pressure, and speckle tracking images to establish a mathematical model. The feasibility of this model was validated. The average early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus assessed using tissue Doppler imaging was significantly attenuated in the elderly (: vs. ; ) and corresponded to the higher estimated wedge () pressure ( vs. ; ) in that cohort. E (Young''s modulus) was calculated to describe the tensile elasticity of the myocardium. With the same intraventricular filling pressure, E was significantly higher in the elderly, especially those with values . Compared with diastolic dysfunction parameters, E also presented sentinel characteristics more sensitive for detecting early myocardial relaxation impairment, which indicates stiffer myocardium in aging hearts.

Conclusion

Our material and geometric mathematical model successfully described the stiffer myocardium in aging hearts with higher intraventricular pressure. Additional studies that compare individual differences, especially in health status, are needed to validate its application for detecting diastolic heart failure.     

Influence of non-bonded parameters on the quality of NMR structures: A new force field for NMR structure calculation

The effects of different non-bonded parameters of force fields for NMR structure calculation on the quality of the resulting NMR solution structures were investigated using Interleukin 4 as a model system. NMR structure ensembles were calculated with an ab initio protocol using torsion angle dynamics. The calculations were repeated with five different non-bonded energy functions and parameters. The resulting ensembles were compared with the available X-ray structures, and their quality was assessed with common structure validation programs. In addition, the impact of torsion angle restraints and dihedral energy terms for the sidechains and the backbone was studied. The further improvement of the quality by refinement in explicit solvent was demonstrated. The optimal parameters, including those necessary for water refinement, are available in the new version of the PARALLHDG force field.     

Comparison of exercise effects on the hemodynamics of the Bio 14.6 cardiomyopathic hamster.

1. Comparisons of the effects of 4 and 16 weeks of exercise were made on; cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, left intraventricular systolic and diastolic pressures, dP/dt, and heart calcium in the Bio 14.6 cardiomyopathic and F1 B hamsters. 2. In the cardiomyopathic hamster the cardiac output, stroke volume, left intraventricular systolic pressure and dP/dt, which were all depressed in the age related sedentary animals, were increased by both periods of exercise. The left intraventricular diastolic pressure which was elevated was likewise decreased by both exercise periods. Only the 16 week exercise period decreased the resting heart rate. 3. In the normal F1 B hamster, both periods of exercise increased the cardiac output and stroke volume while the left intraventricular systolic pressure was decreased. Only the 16 week exercise decreased the resting heart rate and left intraventricular diastolic pressure and increased the left ventricular dP/dt. 4. Both periods of exercise increased the total heart calcium in the Bio 14.6 hamster while the heart calcium in the F1 B was increased only by the 16 week exercise period.     

Muscular Subaortic Stenosis: The Initial Left Ventricular Inflow Tract Pressure as Evidence of Outflow Tract Obstruction

Two types of intraventricular pressure differences within the left ventricle of man are described. The first is encountered in cases of muscular (or fibrous) subaortic stenosis, in which the outflow tract pressure distal to the stenosis (and proximal to the aortic valve) is low, whereas all pressures recorded in the left ventricle proximal to the stenosis, including that just inside the mitral valve (the initial inflow tract pressure) are high.The second type of intraventricular pressure difference may be recorded in patients without muscular subaortic stenosis when a heart catheter is advanced to the left ventricular wall in such a manner that it becomes imbedded or entrapped by cardiac muscle in systole. Such an entrapped catheter records a high intraventricular pressure that is believed to reflect intramyocardial tissue pressure, which normally exceeds intracavitary pressure. In such cases the initial inflow tract pressure is not high and is precisely equal to the outflow tract systolic pressure, i.e. both are recording intracavity pressure. This type of intramyocardial to intracavitary pressure difference may also be encountered in the left ventricle of dogs.The recent suggestion that intraventricular pressure differences in the left ventricle of cases of muscular subaortic stenosis are due to catheter entrapment by cardiac muscle is refuted by using the initial inflow tract pressure as the means of differentiation between the two types of intraventricular pressure differences outlined.     

RV instantaneous intraventricular diastolic pressure and velocity distributions in normal and volume overload awake dog disease models

Intraventricular diastolic right ventricular (RV) flow field dynamics were studied by functional imaging using three-dimensional (3D) real-time echocardiography with sonomicrometry and computational fluid dynamics in seven awake dogs at control with normal wall motion (NWM) and RV volume overload with diastolic paradoxical septal motion. Burgeoning flow cross section between inflow anulus and chamber walls induces a convective pressure rise, which represents a "convective deceleration load" (CDL). High spatiotemporal resolution dynamic pressure and velocity distributions of the intraventricular RV flow field revealed time-dependent, subtle interactions between intraventricular local acceleration and convective pressure gradients. During the E-wave upstroke, the total pressure gradient along intraventricular flow is the algebraic sum of a pressure decrease contributed by local acceleration and a pressure rise contributed by a convective deceleration that partially counterbalances the local acceleration gradient. This underlies the smallness of early diastolic intraventricular gradients. At peak volumetric inflow, local acceleration vanishes and the total adverse intraventricular gradient is convective. During the E-wave downstroke, the strongly adverse gradient embodies the streamwise pressure augmentations from both local and convective decelerations. It induces flow separation and large-scale vortical motions, stronger in NWM. Their dynamic corollaries on intraventricular pressure and velocity distributions were ascertained. In the NWM pattern, the strong ring-like vortex surrounding the central core encroaches on the area available for flow toward the apex. This results in higher linear velocities later in the downstroke of the E wave than at peak inflow rate. The augmentation of CDL by ventriculoannular disproportion may contribute to E wave and E-to-A ratio depression with chamber dilatation.     

Pressure-dependent PAH and creatinine transport from the brain ventricles.

The brain ventricular system of the adult dog was perfused with an artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) containing inulin, creatinine and radioactively labeled p-aminohippuric acid (PAH) and mannitol. Inflow and outflow rates and concentrations of test molecules were measured at different intraventricular pressures, allowing calculation of their steady-state rates of removal from the ventricles. Clearance of inulin, a measure of CSF bulk absorption varied nearly with intraventricular pressure (- 15 to +12 cm H2O relative to the external auditory meatus). The efflux coefficient (Ko; representing clearance of a molecule by means other than bulk absorption) for mannitol was independent of intraventricular pressure. Ko's for PAH and creatinine were pressure dependent. PAH and creatinine efflux may be related to the amount of fourth ventricular choroid plexus surface exposed to the perfusion fluid. Ko's for creatinine and PAH (46 plus or minus 4 mul/min; 34 plus or minus 4mul/min, respectively) were significantly greater than mannitol (16 plus or minus 8 mul/min) at comparable intraventricular pressures, suggesting that both creatinine and PAH leave the CSF by an active process in addition to passive diffusion.     

On the mechanisms of coupling in adrenaline-induced bigeminy in sensitized hearts.

The mechanism of coupling in adrenaline-induced ventricular bigeminy in sensitized hearts has been investigated in intact animals, isolated preparations, and single cardiac fibers. The electrophysiological and cardiovascular dynamic changes during the development of fixed interval coupling strongly indicate that the coupled beats result from stretch of subsidiary pacemaker fibers in the specialized ventricular conduction system, induced by the mechanical response to the normally conducted sinus impulse. The resulting intraventricular pressure elicits an extrasystole when a certain critical end systolic pressure for a particular animal is reached. The interval between the normal and premature ventricular beat decreases progressively as the intraventricular pressure rises, as a result of the combined action of adrenaline and postextrasystolic potentiation. The onset of ventricular bigeminy is preceded by a shift in the pacemaker site to the A-V junctional area, due to a differential effect of the anesthetic-adrenaline combination on fibers of the S-A node and those in the junctional area. The degree of prematurity of the coupled beat shows an inverse linear relationship to the intraventricular pressure of the initiating beat at the end of systole. The premature QRS complex occurs after a period of mechano-electrical latency, the duration of which is directly related to this pressure.     

Electrophysiological effects of the aqueous extract of Averrhoa carambola L. leaves on the guinea pig heart

This work aims to describe some electrophysiological changes promoted by the aqueous extract (AEx) from Averrhoa carambola leaves in guinea pig heart. The experiments were carried out on isolated heart or on right atrium-ventricle preparations. In 6 hearts, the extract induced many kinds of atrioventricular blocks (1st, 2nd, and 3rd degrees); increased the QT interval from 229+/-23 to 264+/-19 ms; increased the QRS complex duration from 27+/-3.1 to 59+/-11 ms, and depressed the cardiac rate from 136+/-17 to 89+/-14b pm. Furthermore, it decreased the conduction velocity of atrial impulse (17+/-3%); reduced the intraventricular pressure (86+/-6%), and increased the conduction time between the right atrium and the His bundle (27+/-6.5%). The conduction time from the His bundle to the right ventricle was not altered. Atropine sulfate did not change either the electrocardiographic parameters or the intraventricular pressure effects promoted by the A. carambola AEx. Based on these results, the popular use of such extracts should be avoided because it can promote electrical and mechanical changes in the normal heart.     

Exploring structures in protein folding funnels with free energy functionals: the denatured ensemble

We discuss the formulation of free energy functionals that describe the formation of structure in partially folded proteins. These free energy functionals take into account the inhomogeneous nature of contact energies, chain entropy and cooperative contributions reflecting the many body character of some folding forces like hydrophobicity, but do not directly account for non-native contacts because they assume the validity of the minimal frustration principle. We show how the free energy functionals can be used to interpret experiments on partially folded proteins that probe the fractional occupancy of specific local structures. In particular, we study the hydrogen protection factors in lysozyme studied in transient experiments by Gladwin and Evans and by Nash and Jonas using equilibrium pressure denaturation and the NMR order parameters measured by Dobson and Kim for the homologous protein alpha-lactalbumin.
