摘要
The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) is an animal model of genetic hypertension which develops heart failure with aging, similar to man. The consistent pattern of a long period of stable hypertrophy followed by a transition to failure provides a useful model to study mechanisms of heart failure with aging and test treatments at differing phases of the disease process. The transition from compensated hypertrophy to failure is accompanied by changes in cardiac function which are associated with altered active and passive mechanical properties of myocardial tissue; these events define the physiologic basis for cardiac decompensation. In examining the mechanism for myocardial tissue dysfunction, studies have demonstrated a central role for neurohormonal activation, and specifically the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Pharmacologic attenuation of this system at differing points in the course of the process suggests that prevention but not reversal of myocardial tissue dysfunction is possible. The roles of the extracellular matrix, apoptosis, intracellular calcium, beta-adrenergic stimulation, microtubules, and oxygen supply-demand relationships in ultimately mediating myocardial tissue dysfunction are reviewed. Studies suggest that while considerable progress has been made in understanding and treating the transition to failure, our current state of knowledge is limited in scope and we are not yet able to define specific mechanisms responsible for tissue dysfunction. It will be necessary to integrate information on the roles of newly discovered, and as yet undiscovered, genes and pathways to provide a clearer understanding of maladaptive remodeling seen with heart failure. Understanding the mechanism for tissue dysfunction is likely to result in more effective treatments for the prevention and reversal of heart failure with aging. It is anticipated that the SHR model will assist us in reaching these important goals.
