摘要
The present study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of pimobendan treatment for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in rats administered monocrotaline (MCT). Fifty-four 12-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with monocrotaline or saline solution. Serial echocardiography and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) measurement via a cardiac catheter were performed. After injection of MCT, rats received oral pimobendan (MCT/pimobendan group) or no treatment (MCT group) until undergoing echocardiography and cardiac catheter insertion. Right ventricular systolic pressure in the MCT/pimobendan group was lower than that in the MCT group at 6 weeks. Right ventricle free wall (RVFW) myocardial systolic velocity (Sm) in the MCT group showed a reduction compared with the saline group at 2 weeks. RVFW Sm in the MCT/pimobendan group was preserved as compared with the saline group at 2 weeks. RVFW Tei index in the MCT/pimobendan group showed a reduction compared with the saline group and the MCT group at 2 weeks. Echocardiography in the MCT/pimobendan group showed improvement compared with MCT rats. Both a reduction in RVSP and improvement in myocardial contraction were demonstrated with administration of pimobendan in rats with PH induced by MCT. Echocardiography evaluation of systolic function seems to be useful for monitoring excess administration of pimobendan.
