Characteristics of morphology and left ventricular f unction in the mouse with myocarditis WAN Chao2min, WANG Zheng2rong, ZHOU Mi,DENGJian - jun, WU Tai2xiang, YU Hong2ji ( West China University of Medical Sciences, Chengdu , China) [ Abstract] AIM :To determine the relationship between microhistology and cardiac contractility in myocardi2 tis animal model. METHODS :Setting up myocarditis animal model by injecting Coxsackivevirus B 3 ( CVB 3 ) into mice, then observed myocardial morphological changes and measured left ventricular function of mice at the time of first three days and two weeks after injecting CVB 3. RESULTS :Subcellular structure (mitochondria) changed at the first three days after injecting CVB 3. The left ventricular pressure (LVP) and the rate of intraventricular pressure de2 velopment (d p/ d t) which is the index of reflecting cardiac contractility depressed in this stage ( ) kpa and ( ) kpa/ s, respectively. There were ( ) kpa and ( ) kpa/ s in normal mice, respectively ( P < 0. 01). Myocardial lesions were more severe during immune response stage - two weeks after inject2 ing CVB 3, including myocardial inflammation and necrosis. LVP was ( ) kpa and dp/ d t was (20915

4 ) kpa/ s in immune response stage. There was significant difference between mice with myocarditis at early stage and at immune response stage ( P < 0. 01). CONCL USIONS :The factor of causing the depression of cardiac contrac2 tility in early stage (virus - induced damage) is mainly change of subcellular structure. Mitochondria cannot provide energy as normal. There were more severe myocardial lesions in later stage (cell - mediated autoimmune response) than in early stage. The depression of cardiac contractility is a consequence of multifactor.
