Hypertension and resulting left ventricular hypertrophy was induced in young male Wistar rats (60 to 70 days old) by narrowing of one renal artery (Goldblatt II). 8 and 24 weeks after operation, myocardial oxygen consumption was measured on a modified in situ heart-lung preparation with nearly isovolumetric left ventricular contractions. Measured myocardial oxygen consumption was related to left ventricular wall stress. The myosin isoenzyme pattern of each heart was determined with pyrophosphate gel electrophoresis. Oxygen consumption related to wall stress averaged over the entire heart cycle amounted to 15 mumoles O2/g X min 8 weeks after operation, and 24.4 mumoles O2/g X min in age-matched controls (delta 38%, p less than 0.0005). When wall stress was averaged over systole, oxygen consumption of the hypertrophied hearts amounted to 0.112 mumoles O2/g x beat, and 0.149 mumoles O2/g x beat in the controls (delta 25%, p less than 0.05). The proportion of VM-3 (the cardiac myosin isoenzyme of lowest ATPase activity) increased from 26.3% in the controls to 30.1% in the Goldblatt hearts (delta 14%, n.s.). 24 weeks after operation, oxygen consumption related to wall stress averaged over the entire heart cycle amounted to 16.1 mumoles O2/g x min, in age-matched controls 20.5 mumoles O2/g x min (delta 21%, p less than 0.05). When wall stress was averaged over systole, oxygen consumption of the Goldblatt hearts amounted to 0.080 mumoles O2/g x beat, and in the controls 0.107 mumoles O2/g x beat (delta 25%, p less than 0.0005). The proportion of VM-3 increased from 33.5% in the controls to 43.2% in the hypertrophied hearts (delta 29%, p less than 0.05). The present findings indicate that the reduced oxygen consumption of the pressure-loaded heart should be attributed to a redistribution of myosin isoenzymes. The transformation of myocardium into a slower, but more efficiently working muscle due to an increase in VM-3 can be interpreted as an adaptational process.
