Plasma expansion effect on cardiac capillary and adrenergic exchange in intact dogs

D. Cousineau, C. P. Rose and C. A. Goresky

The effect of plasma volume expansion on transcapillary exchange and norepinephrine release in the heart was examined in pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized dogs by use of the multiple indicator-dilution technique. Animals were studied under basal conditions and following infusion of the plasma expander, dextran. Catheters were placed in coronary artery and coronary sinus in a closed-chest preparation. Labeled albumin, sucrose, and norepinephrine were injected into the coronary artery and outflow-dilution curves were secured. Analysis of these provided parameters reflecting coronary flow and permeability-surface product, and a norepinephrine tracer kinetic-bulk model provided simultaneous estimates of the rate of norepinephrine release into the myocardial interstitial space. The infusion of dextran resulted in a large increase in coronary flow without significant changes in myocardial norepinephrine release; at the same time the permeability-surface product values increased, amplifying the capacity of the higher flow to deliver substrates to sarcolemmal cells. The findings indicate that plasma volume expansion increases transcapillary exchange in the heart without activating the cardiac sympathetic system.
