摘要

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of amiodarone on mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), baroreflex, Bezold-Jarisch, and peripheral chemoreflex in normotensive and chronic one-kidney, one-clip (1K1C) hypertensive rats (N = 9 to 11 rats in each group). Amiodarone (50 mg/kg, iv) elicited hypotension and bradycardia in normotensive (-10 +/- 1 mmHg, -57 +/- 6 bpm) and hypertensive rats (-37 +/- 7 mmHg, -39 +/- 19 bpm). The baroreflex index (Delta HR/ Delta MAP) was significantly attenuated by amiodarone in both normotensive (-0.61 +/- 0.12 vs -1.47 +/- 0.14 bpm/mmHg for reflex bradycardia and -1.15 +/- 0.19 vs -2.63 +/- 0.26 bpm/mmHg for reflex tachycardia) and hypertensive rats (-0.26 +/- 0.05 vs -0.72 +/- 0.16 bpm/mmHg for reflex bradycardia and -0.92 +/- 0.19 vs -1.51 +/- 0.19 bpm/mmHg for reflex tachycardia). The slope of linear regression from Delta pulse interval/Delta MAP was attenuated for both reflex bradycardia and tachycardia in normotensive rats (-0.47 +/- 0.13 vs -0.94 +/- 0.19 ms/mmHg and -0.80 +/- 0.13 vs -1.11 +/- 0.13 ms/mmHg), but only for reflex bradycardia in hypertensive rats (-0.15 +/- 0.02 vs -0.23 +/- 0.3 ms/mmHg). In addition, the MAP and HR responses to the Bezold-Jarisch reflex were 20-30 % smaller in amiodarone-treated normotensive or hypertensive rats. The bradycardic response to peripheral chemoreflex activation with intravenous potassium cyanide was also attenuated by amiodarone in both normotensive (-30 +/- 6 vs -49 +/- 8 bpm) and hypertensive rats (-34 +/- 13 vs -42 +/- 10 bpm). On the basis of the well-known electrophysiological effects of amiodarone, the sinus node might be the responsible for the attenuation of the cardiovascular reflexes found in the present study.
