The study of remodeling of myocardium mesenchyme in spontaneous hypertensive rats
Objective:To observe the remodeling of myocardium mesenchyme in hypertention. Methods:Using spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) of different age in months as experiment models to observe the remodeling of myocardium mesenchyme by collagen in quality and quantity. Results:The collagen areas (CA) or collagen volume fraction (CVF) were the highest in SHR 18-22 . CA or CVF of SHR 10 increased 1.4 times compared with WKY 10 and CA or CVF of SHR18-22 increased 2.4 times compared with SHR10 (P<0.01). It was found that CVF was increased prominently than left ventricular weight index (LVW/BW). Conclusion: Myocardium mesenchyme or vessels in SHR appeared remodeled and the remodeling was distinctly aggravating in SHR18-22. The aggravation of remodeling might be one of the important reasons resulting in CHF.
