Ventricular suction under zero source pressure for filling.

H Suga, Y Goto, Y Igarashi

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |July 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    The canine heart exhibits ventricular suction flow during diastole, even without filling pressure. This suction flow, crucial for cardiac function, is reduced by increased heart rates and influenced by various cardiovascular drugs.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Cardiac Mechanics
    • Hemodynamics

    Background:

    • Ventricular filling is traditionally attributed to passive pressure gradients.
    • The role of active ventricular suction in cardiac filling remains an area of investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify ventricular suction flow, volume, and pressure in an excised canine heart model.
    • To investigate the influence of heart rate and pharmacological agents on ventricular suction.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an excised canine heart model with cross-circulation.
    • Employed an electromagnetic flow probe at the mitral annulus to measure flow.
    • Measured transmural pressure during ejection and suction phases.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Observed significant ventricular suction flow during diastole, despite zero source pressure.
    • Peak suction flow reached 26 +/- 20 ml/s/100g, with a suction volume equal to ejection volume.
    • Increased heart rate reduced suction volume by shortening diastolic filling time; drugs primarily affected suction via heart rate modulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Ventricular suction is an intrinsic mechanism contributing to cardiac filling.
    • Diastolic suction plays a vital role in maintaining stroke volume, independent of external filling pressures.
    • Pharmacological interventions impact ventricular suction mainly through alterations in heart rate and filling dynamics.
