Correlation of acute with chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in cattle

D. H. Will, J. L. Hicks, C. S. Card, J. T. Reeves and A. F. Alexander

We investigated acute and chronic hypoxic pulmonary pressor responses in two groups of calves, one bred to be susceptible, the other resistant to high-altitude pulmonary hypertension. Twelve 5-mo-old susceptible calves residing at 1,524 m increased their mean pulmonary arterial pressure from 26 +/- 2 (SE) to 55 +/- 4 mmHg during 2 h at a simulated altitude of 4,572 m. In 10 resistant calves pressure increased from 22 +/- 1 to 37 +/- 2 mmHg. Five calves were selected from each group for further study. When 9 mo old, the 5 susceptible calves again showed a greater pressor response to acute hypoxia (27 +/- 1 to 55 +/- 4 mmHg) than did 5 resistant calves (23 +/- 1 to 41 +/- 3 mmHg). When 12 mo old, the 5 susceptible calves also developed a greater increase in pulmonary arterial pressure (21 +/- 2 to 9 +/- 4 mmHg) during 18 days at 4,572 m than did the 5 resistant calves (21 +/- 1 to 64 +/- 4 mmHg). Acute and chronic hypoxic pulmonary pressor responses were highly correlated (r = 0.91; P less than 0.001) indicating that they were probably produced through a common mechanism.
