Abstract
BACKGROUNDThe mechanism of the alterations in the pattern of left ventricular (LV) filling during the development of congestive heart failure (CHF) is not fully understood.METHODS AND RESULTSWe studied six conscious dogs instrumented to measure LV and left atrial (LA) pressures and LV volume as CHF was induced by rapid pacing. Diastolic filling dynamics were serially measured over 4 weeks during normal sinus rhythm. Four days after we initiated pacing, the peak early diastolic filing rate decreased from 108 +/- 24 to 88 +/- 27 mL/s (P < .05) as the maximal early diastolic LA-LV pressure gradient decreased associated with a slowing of the rate of LV relaxation. Subsequently, the peak early filling rate progressively increased, returning to control at 1 week, and by the fourth week, it had increased to 168 +/- 39 mL/s (P < .05). These changes in early filling rates occurred as the maximal early diastolic LA-LV pressure gradient increased in association with a progressive increase in LV pressure despite furt...Keywords
