title: Myocardial oxygen consumption is affected by dynamic cardiomyoplasty in dogs with adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy.
abstract: The purpose of the study was to investigate a possible myocardial sparing effect by dynamic cardiomyoplasty. We directly measured cardiac work and myocardial oxygen consumption after dynamic cardiomyopathy in dogs with adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy. Ten dogs with cardiomyopathy induced by 4 weekly intracoronary infusions of adriamycin were studied. Five dogs underwent right latissimus dorsi cardiomyoplasty with progressive myostimulation, and five served as controls. Right heart and coronary sinus catheterizations were performed at 0, 10, and 15 weeks. Four and two dogs, respectively, the cardiomyoplasty and the control group, survived until 15 weeks. Cardiac work was not different between the control and the cardiomyoplasty groups (p = 0.42). Myocardial oxygen consumption was less in the cardiomyoplasty group (185.70 +/- 37.22; 165.75 +/- 25.86; 161.40 +/- 54.14 J/min at 0, 10, and 15 weeks, respectively) compared to the control group (147.80 +/- 70.99; 275.00 +/- 103.24; 263.50 +/- 52.75 J/min at 0, 10, and 15 weeks, respectively, p = 0.019). Mechanical cardiac efficiency was not meaningfully different between the cardiomyoplasty group (16.08% +/- 5.39%; 20.51% +/- 5.89%; 20.67% +/- 11.98% at 0, 10, and 15 weeks, respectively) compared to the control group (15.29% +/- 8.06%; 9.40% +/- 1.22%; 13.40% +/- 2.29% at 0, 10, and 15 weeks, respectively, p = 0.093). Acute changes of the cardiosynchronization ratio (2:1, 1:1, OFF) did not affect myocardial oxygen consumption or cardiac work within the cardiomyoplasty group. Dynamic cardiomyoplasty reduced myocardial oxygen consumption in dogs with adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy.
