There are few reports on the relationship between right ventricular performance and its myocardial oxygen consumption (RVMVO2). The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between RVMVO2 and the mechanical performance of normal and hypertrophic right ventricles in open-chest dogs. Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) was induced by producing chronic right ventricular pressure overload by banding the pulmonary arteries of 8 puppies for 6 months. The experiment was performed under basal conditions and after increasing the RVMVO2 in the eight dogs with RVH as well as in 20 normal dogs. The RVMVO2 showed significant positive relationships with right coronary (RCA) flow, right ventricular systolic pressure, and right ventricular pressure-rate product (PRP) in both the normal right ventricle and RVH hearts. However, the slope between the PRP and RVMVO2 was significantly steeper in the normal right ventricle (RV) than in the hypertrophic RV. When the PRP was normalized for the thickness of the right ventricular free wall, the slope of the two regression lines merged into a single line of fit. These results suggest that the pressure-rate product can be used to predict myocardial oxygen demand not only in the normal RV but also in well-compensated, hypertrophic RV. Isoproterenol induced smaller increases in cardiac output in the dogs with RVH than in those with normal RV. It also appears that the cardiac output of the hypertrophic RV is less sensitive to beta-adrenoceptor stimulation than that of the normal RV.
