pubmed:abstractText
Aortic insufficiency was induced in rats. Left ventricular papillary muscle function was studied after 5, 12, and 40 wk and compared with the papillary muscles from sham-operated animals. The maximum unloaded velocity of shortening, Vmax, was decreased in the rats with aortic insufficiency relative to controls by 15, 20, and 34% at 5, 12, and 40 wk, respectively. The decrease in Vmax occurred concomitantly with a change in the myosin isoenzyme composition such that the V1 isoform content decreased and the V3 isoform increased. Relative to age-matched controls, the V3 content in the hearts with aortic insufficiency had increased by 80, 180, and 125% at 5, 12, and 40 wk, respectively. The decrease in Vmax in the aortic insufficiency group muscles correlated with the change in myosin isozyme composition and could not be explained by changes in collagen content. Thus aortic insufficiency induced changes in myosin isozyme content and Vmax similar to those previously observed with aortic stenosis, thus suggesting a common mechanism of myocardial adaptation to different types of mechanical overload.
