RESUMO

In the present study, two important situations were observed to evaluate the role of the baroreceptors in the genesis of cardiac hypertrophy in response to hypertension: the effect of the time-course of the clip in the renal artery and the effect of the level of arterial blood pressure (ABP) and blood pressure variability (ABPV). The time-course evaluation showed that even before hypertension was installed, cardiac alterations could be observed, as a left ventricular eccentric hypertrophy. Compensatory mechanisms, such as an increase in some calcium homeosthatic proteins, could also be noticed (increase in phosphorilated phospholmaban at threonin-17 corrected by total phospholamban in 54% and increase in phosphorilated phospholmaban at serine-16 corrected by total phospholamban in 100%). However, once hypertension was established, left ventricle morphology changed to a concentric hypertrophy, accompanied by a diastolic dysfunction and enhanced sympathetic modulation, observed by relation between low-frequency component (LF) and high-frequency component (HF) at tachogram (0,44 ± 0,10 vs. 0,20 ± 0,03 in control group). ABP and ABPV analyses showed an important positive correlation with the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy (r=0,76, p<0,01). However, the absence of baroreceptors in one of the hypertensive groups, evoked the same cardiovascular alterations (same level of hypertension) or even worse (sympathetic modulation for heart and vessels, left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction) reached by the hypertensive baroreceptors-preserved group. These cardiovascular responses were observed in a period that correspond one third of time to the group with intact baroreflex. These observations lead us to conclude the importance of homeosthatic effects of the baroreflex in the genesis of cardiac responses to hypertension
