We investigated whether the effect of long-term intermittent hypoxia (LTIH) on cardiovascular function may be modified by preexisting genetic traits. To induce LTIH experimentally, cycles of 90-s hypoxia (nadir 6%) followed by 90-s normoxia were applied to six Wistar-Kyoto and six spontaneously hypertensive rats during 8 h daily. Comparison with the same number of control animals after 70 days revealed no alteration of intra-arterial blood pressure or heart rate. Blood pressure responsiveness to a brief hypoxic stimulus was enhanced in the LTIH animals, regardless of strain, whereas the hypoxia-induced increase in heart rate was abolished. In the spontaneously hypertensive but not the Wistar-Kyoto rats, LTIH increased left ventricular weight-to-body weight ratio and content of atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA. Expression of B-type natriuretic peptide was unchanged (Northern blot). Slightly increased right ventricular weight-to-body weight ratios in the LTIH animals were associated with higher right ventricular atrial natriuretic peptide and B-type natriuretic peptide mRNA amounts. Consequently, the effects of LTIH on different components of cardiovascular function appear incompletely related to each other and differentially influenced by constitutional traits.
