| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Right ventricular (RV) pressure overload due to severe pulmonary hypertension (svr-PH > 40 mmHg) sometimes causes lethal arrhythmias, although the mechanisms are unclear. To investigate if RV pressure overload produces RV arryhythmogenic vulnerability, we serially performed optical mapping analysis (OMP) with electrophysiological study (EPS) to the heart excised from pneumonectomy-induced (LP+H) svr-PH rats. Action potential duration dispersion (APDd) and connexin43 (Cx43) expression were measured in RV. LP+H-svr-PH transiently sustained. OMP revealed abnormal RV conduction and increased APDd accompanying ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia (VF/VT) induction by EPS with normal Cx-43 in LP+H -svr-PH. Conclusions; Transiently sustained (>24-hours) svr-PH can cause lethal arrhythmias possibly due to the mechanoelectric transduction not including Cx43degradation.
