摘要
We evaluated changes in passive mechanical properties in cardiac tissues during rat pregnancy. Left and right ventricular free walls were dissected from hearts of nonpregnant, late-pregnant, and postpartum rats. Mechanical experiments in ventricular strips were done by stretch-release cycles using a step motor. The results show that during pregnancy, there is cardiac hypertrophy associated with (1) an increase in myocyte size, particularly of augmented myocyte length, (2) a decrease in passive tension developed by the myocardial walls, and (3) a decrease in both elastic modulus and hysteresis. All changes observed during rat pregnancy were reversed during postpartum. In conclusion, a heart with less ventricular rigidity could contribute to facilitating the ventricular filling in conditions of a greater circulating volume characteristic of pregnancy.
