Abstract

Testing new therapies in heart failure (HF) requires a chronic stable model of HF in large animals. Microembolization of the coronary arteries has been used to model HF previously; however, neural control has not been previously explored in this model. Thus the aim of this study was to further characterize neural control in this model of HF. HF was induced by infusion of microspheres (45 micron; 1.3 ml) into the proximal left coronary artery or left descending coronary arteries, with three sequential embolizations over 3 weeks. Twelve to 14 weeks after the final embolization, and when ejection fraction had decreased below 45%, animals were instrumented to record blood pressure and heart rate. Baroreflex control of heart rate was investigated in conscious animals. Additionally, pressure-volume loops were constructed under anesthesia. Embolization-induced HF was associated with a decrease in mean arterial pressure (67 ± 2 vs. 85 ± 4 mmHg,
