    Summary

    Three drugs, including the bradycardic agent UL-FS 49, effectively prevented exercise-induced myocardial dysfunction in dogs. This study demonstrates a novel approach to managing angina pectoris symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Pharmacology
    • Myocardial Physiology
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Exercise-induced transient myocardial dysfunction mimics angina pectoris.
    • Regional contractile dysfunction can be assessed using ultrasound in a canine model with coronary artery stenosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of propranolol, alinidine, and UL-FS 49 in preventing exercise-induced myocardial dysfunction.
    • To determine the effects of these agents on heart rate and contractility during exercise.

    Main Methods:

    • Canine model with induced myocardial dysfunction via partly stenosed left coronary artery.
    • Intravenous infusion of propranolol, alinidine, and UL-FS 49.
    • Assessment of regional contractile function using ultrasound before and after drug administration during treadmill exercise.

    Main Results:

    • All three tested drugs (propranolol, alinidine, UL-FS 49) abolished exercise-induced regional contractile dysfunction.
    • Propranolol and alinidine reduced heart rate and positive dp/dtmax during exercise.
    • UL-FS 49 demonstrated a significant negative chronotropic effect without altering positive dp/dtmax.

    Conclusions:

    • Propranolol, alinidine, and UL-FS 49 are effective in preventing exercise-induced myocardial dysfunction.
    • UL-FS 49, a selective bradycardic agent, prevented dysfunction without affecting contractility, offering a novel therapeutic strategy.
    • This research provides the first evidence of using a selective bradycardic agent to prevent exercise-induced regional contractile dysfunction.
