ABSTRACT
Acute heart failure (AHF) due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is likely to involve cardiogenic shock (CS), with neuro-hormonal activation. A relationship between AHF, CS and vasopressin response is suspected. This study aimed to investigate the implication of vasopressin on hemodynamic parameters and tissue perfusion at the early phase of CS complicating AMI. Experiments were performed on male Wistar rats submitted or not to left coronary artery ligation (AMI and Sham). Six groups were studied Sham and AMI treated or not with either a vasopressin antagonist SR-49059 (Sham-SR, AMI-SR) or agonist terlipressin (Sham-TLP, AMI-TLP). Animals were sacrificed one day after surgery (D1) and after hemodynamic parameters determination. Vascular responses to vasopressin were evaluated, ex vivo, on aorta. AHF was defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction below 40%. CS was defined by AHF plus tissue hypoperfusion evidenced by elevated serum lactate level or low mesenteric oxygen saturation (SmO2) at D1. Mortality rates were 40% in AMI, 0% in AMI-SR and 33% in AMI-TLP. Immediately after surgery, a sharp decrease in SmO2 was observed in all groups. At D1, SmO2 recovered in Sham and in SR-treated animals while it remained low in AMI and further decreased in TLP-treated groups. The incidence of CS among AHF animals was 72% in AMI or AMI-TLP while it was reduced to 25% in AMI-SR. Plasma copeptin level was increased by AMI. Maximal contractile response to vasopressin was decreased in AMI (32%) as in TLP- and SR- treated groups regardless of ligation. Increased vasopressin secretion occurring in the early phase of AMI may be responsible of mesenteric hypoperfusion resulting in tissue hypoxia. Treatment with a vasopressin antagonist enhanced mesenteric perfusion and improve survival. This could be an interesting therapeutic strategy to prevent progression to cardiogenic shock.
