Implication

Hypoxia's selective effects on inotropes in animal tissue warrant in vivo validation; leaves open clinical translation to hypoxic states.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Papillary muscle preparations from normal cats and cats that had undergone previous total extrinsic cardiac denervation (catecholamine-depleted)
I
Intervention
Inotropic agents (ouabain, norepinephrine, angiotensin II, 1-des-5-Val-angiotensin II, 1-des-5-Ile-angiotensin II) under hypoxic conditions (5% O2 - 5% CO2 - 90% N2)
C
Comparator
Same inotropic agents under control conditions (95% O2 - 5% CO2)
O
Outcome
Inotropic response (tension and dose-response curves)surrogate

Hypoxia uniquely potentiates the inotropic effects of angiotensin II analogues in cat papillary muscles, in contrast to the depressed response seen with ouabain and norepinephrine.
