Pressure-volume analysis of changes in cardiac function in chronic cardiomyoplasty

Reports of clinical improvement in human studies of dynamic cardiomyoplasty lack support by consistent objective hemodynamic evidence. Animal studies have also yielded conflicting results, likely due to nonuniform models, particularly the use of unconditioned wraps, and to limitations in commonly used study modalities caused by exaggerated heart motion during wrap stimulation. Our purpose was to assess the primary functional properties of the heart wrapped by conditioned muscle using pressure-volume relation analysis based on conductance catheter volume data. Compared with the unstimulated state, 1:1 stimulation caused an increase in contractility and decreases in end-diastolic volume and stroke work. Assisted beats during 1:2 stimulation showed an increase in contractility and a decrease in end- diastolic volume. Unassisted beats (1:2) showed decreases in end- diastolic volume and stroke work. There was no augmentation of cardiac output or ejection fraction with stimulation (1:1 or 1:2). We conclude that in the nonfailing heart, increased contractility does not augment cardiac output, ejection fraction, and stroke work because of a simultaneous decrease in end-diastolic volume. These changes in contractility and end-diastolic volume may prove therapeutic for dilated cardiomyopathy.
