ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

We investigated the similarities and differences between two experimental approaches using tachy-pacing technology to induce desynchronized heart failure in canines.

METHODS:

A total of eight dogs were included in the experiment, four were tachy-paced in right ventricle apex (RVAP) and 4 were paced in right atrium after the ablation of left bundle branch to achieve left bundle branch block (RAP+LBBB). Three weeks of follow-up were conducted to observe the changes in cardiac function and myocardial staining was performed at the end of the experiment.

RESULTS:

Both experimental approaches successfully established heart failure with reduced ejection fraction models, with similar trends in declining cardiac function. The RAP+LBBB group exhibited a prolonged overall ventricular activation time, delayed left ventricular activation, and lesser impact on the right ventricle. The RVAP approach led to a reduction in overall right ventricular compliance and right ventricular enlargement. The RAP+LBBB group exhibited significant reductions in left heart compliance (LVGLS, % RAP+LBBB -12.60 ± 0.12 to -5.93 ± 1.25; RVAP -13.28 ± 0.62 to -8.05 ± 0.63, p = 0.023; LASct, % RAP+LBBB -15.75 ± 6.85 to -1.50 ± 1.00; RVAP -15.75 ± 2.87 to -10.05 ± 6.16, p = 0.035). Histological examination revealed more pronounced fibrosis in the left ventricular wall and left atrium in the RAP+LBBB group while the RVAP group showed more prominent fibrosis in the right ventricular myocardium.

CONCLUSION:

Both approaches establish HFrEF models with comparable trends. The RVAP group shows impaired right ventricular function, while the RAP+LBBB group exhibits more severe decreased compliance and fibrosis in left ventricle.
