Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) produced by aortic valve plication leads to increased myocardial cyclic GMP. We tested whether this was a result of increased soluble guanylate cyclase activity or nitric oxide (NO) synthase and its functional consequences. We used the nitric oxide donor 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1) or the NO synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) in 12 control and 12 LVH anesthetized open-chest mongrel dogs. L-NAME (6 mg/kg) or SIN-1 (1 microgram/kg per min) was infused into the left anterior descending coronary artery and regional segment work and cyclic GMP levels were determined. In vitro myocardial guanylate cyclase sensitivity (0.43 +/- 0.04 to 0.28 +/- 0.04 mM [EC50]) and maximal activity (10.1 +/- 2.9 to 25.5 +/- 6.5 pmol/mg protein per min) were significantly increased in LVH as compared with control animals in response to nitroprusside stimulation, but cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase activity was similar. In LVH dogs, basal cyclic GMP was significantly elevated in vivo when compared with controls. Treatment of dogs with SIN-1 resulted in a significant increase in cyclic GMP in control (1.09 +/- 0.12 to 1.48 +/- 0.19 pmol/gram) and a greater increase in the LVH group (1.78 +/- 0.16 to 3.58 +/- 0.71 pmol/g). L-NAME had no effect on myocardial cyclic GMP levels in control or LVH dogs. Segment work decreased in the control group after SIN-1 (1,573 +/- 290 to 855 +/- 211 grams x mm/min). LVH dogs showed no decrement in work as a result of treatment with SIN-1. L-NAME did not cause significant changes in myocardial cyclic GMP, O2 consumption, or work in either control or LVH dogs, but vascular effects were evident. SIN-1 increased cyclic GMP, and with greater effect on LVH; however, this resulted in a decrement in function only in the control group. The greater increased cyclic GMP in LVH dogs is not related to increased NO production, but is related to significantly higher sensitivity and maximal activity of soluble myocardial guanylate cyclase.
