OBJECTIVE: The aim was to determine left and right ventricular functional reserves and collagen concentration during the development of cardiac hypertrophy and after its regression. METHODS: Two experimental models of cardiac hypertrophy (chronic thyroxine or isoprenaline treatment of adult rats) were compared 24 h and five weeks after the agent was last given. Pressure changes in the left (right) ventricle before and after acute aortic (pulmonary artery) ligation were recorded in open chest anaesthetised animals. The difference in dP/dtmax after and before ligation was regarded as the functional reserve. The total collagen concentration was determined in both ventricles separately by means of hydroxyproline. RESULTS: Left and right ventricular weight increased by 20% and 30% respectively in the two models employed. In the thyroxine treated group, the functional reserve of the left ventricle rose very noticeably, whereas in the isoprenaline treated group it decreased. The right ventricular functional reserve did not differ from that in the controls in either of the two groups. The collagen concentration rose in the left ventricle in the isoprenaline group only. Five weeks after the last administration of the agent, cardiac mass and ventricular function did not differ from the control values in either of the models studied; the only exception was the incomplete regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and persistent structural and functional impairment of the left ventricle in the isoprenaline treated group. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that hearts undergoing a comparable degree of experimental hypertrophy may have different functional and structural properties; significant differences were found between the right and left ventricular response. Regression of hypertrophy together with a reversal of ventricular function usually occurs unless the myocardium has received severe structural damage.
