Endothelin receptor subtype A blockade selectively reduces pulmonary pressure after cardiopulmonary bypass
Background: The bioactive peptide endothelin-1 is elevated during and after cardiopulmonary bypass and exerts cardiovascular effects through its 2 receptor subtypes, endothelin-1A and endothelin-1B. Increased endothelin-1A receptor stimulation after cardiopulmonary bypass can cause increased pulmona...

Zusammenfassung: | Background: The bioactive peptide endothelin-1 is elevated during and after cardiopulmonary bypass and exerts cardiovascular effects through its 2 receptor subtypes, endothelin-1A and endothelin-1B. Increased endothelin-1A receptor stimulation after cardiopulmonary bypass can cause increased pulmonary vascular resistance and modulate myocardial contractility. However, whether and to what degree selective endothelin-1A blockade influences these parameters in the postbypass setting is not completely understood. Objectives : Our objective was to measure left ventricular function and hemodynamics in a porcine model of cardiopulmonary bypass after selective blockade of endothelin-1A. Methods : Adult pigs (n = 23) underwent 90 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass and were randomized 30 minutes after bypass to receive a selective endothelin-1A antagonist (TBC 11251, 10 mg/kg; n = 13) or saline vehicle (n = 10). Results : After bypass and before randomization, pulmonary vascular resistance rose nearly 4-fold, and left ventricular preload recruitable stroke work fell to one third of baseline values (both P |
