The difference between normotensive rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) in functional and metabolic responses to ischemia was studied. Systolic arterial blood pressure of SHR (171.2 +/- 2.9 mmHg) was significantly higher than that of WKY (135.3 +/- 1.2 mmHg), and the left ventricular mass of SHR was larger than that of WKY. Hearts isolated from either WKY or SHR were perfused by the working heart technique. Ischemia was induced by lowering the afterload pressure of the working heart. Ischemia produced cardiac arrest, and decreased the tissue levels of adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate in both WKY and SHR. Recovery of mechanical function of the heart during reperfusion following ischemia in SHR was better than that in WKY, while recovery of the high-energy phosphates level in SHR was less prominent than in WKY. It is postulated that hypertension has a deleterious effect on myocardial energy metabolism in ischemic heart, even when cardiac mechanical function is maintained.
