We monitored myocardial function in postinfarcted wild-type (WT) and transgenic (TG) mouse hearts with overexpression of the cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. Five weeks after infarction, cardiac function was better maintained in TG than WT mice [left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure: WT, 41 +/- 2; TG, 58 +/- 3 mmHg; P < 0.05; maximum rising rate of LV pressure (+dP/dt(max)): WT, 3,750 +/- 346; TG, 5,075 +/- 334 mmHg/s; P < 0.05]. The isometric contractile response to beta-adrenergic stimulation was greater in papillary muscles from TG than WT mice (WT, 13.2 +/- 0.9; TG, 16.3 +/- 1.0 mN/mm(2) at 10(-4) M isoproterenol). The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) content investigated by rapid cooling contractures in papillary muscles was greater in TG than WT mouse hearts. We conclude that myocardial function is better preserved in TG mice 5 wk after infarction, which results from enhanced SR Ca(2+) content via overexpression of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger.
