Effects and mechanism of renal denervation on ventricular arrhythmia after acute myocardial infarction in rats.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renal denervation (RDN) can reduce ventricular arrhythmia after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the mechanism is not clear. The purpose of this study is to study its mechanism.

Methods

Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: control group, AMI group, RDN-1d + AMI group, RDN-2w + AMI group. The AMI model was established 1 day after RDN in the RDN-1d + AMI group and 2 weeks after RDN in the RDN-2w + AMI group. At the same time, 8 normal rats were subjected to AMI modelling (the AMI group). The control group consisted of 8 rats without RDN intervention or AMI modelling.

Results

The study confirmed that RDN can reduce the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia in AMI rats, reduce renal sympathetic nerve discharge, and inhibit the activity of local sympathetic nerves and cell growth factor (NGF) protein expression in the heart after AMI. In addition, RDN decreased the expression of norepinephrine (NE) and glutamate in the hypothalamus,and NE in cerebrospinal fluid, and increased the expression level of γ aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the hypothalamus after AMI.

Conclusion

RDN can effectively reduce the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia after AMI, and its main mechanism may be via the inhibition of central sympathetic nerve discharge.

Project description:Background Ventricular arrhythmia after myocardial infarction is the most important risk factor for sudden cardiac death, which poses a serious threat to human health. As the correlation between autonomic nervous systemic dysfunction and heart rhythm abnormality has been gradually revealed, remedies targeting autonomic nervous system dysfunction, especially the sympathetic nerve, have emerged. Among them, renal denervation is noted for its powerful effect on the inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity. We aim to investigate whether renal denervation can reduce ventricular arrhythmia after myocardial infarction and thus decrease the risk of sudden cardiac death. In addition, we explore the potential mechanism with respect to nerve activity and remodeling. Methods and Results Twenty-four beagles were randomized into the control (n=4), renal denervation (n=10), and sham (n=10) groups. Permanent left anterior descending artery ligation was performed to establish myocardial infarction in the latter 2 groups. Animals in the renal denervation group underwent both surgical and chemical renal denervation. Compared with dogs in the sham group, dogs in the renal denervation group demonstrated attenuated effective refractory period shortening and inhomogeneity, flattened restitution curve, increased ventricular threshold, and decreased ventricular arrhythmia. Heart rate variability assessment, catecholamine measurement, and nerve discharge recordings all indicated that renal denervation could reduce whole-body and local tissue sympathetic tone. Tissue analysis revealed a significant decrease in neural remodeling in both the heart and stellate ganglion. Conclusions Surgical and chemical renal denervation decreased whole-body and local tissue sympathetic activity and reversed neural remodeling in the heart and stellate ganglion. Consequently, renal denervation led to beneficial remodeling of the electrophysiological characteristics in the infarction border zone, translating to a decrease in ventricular arrhythmia after myocardial infarction.
