M ETHOD S: The blood p ressure and pulse rate were measured by tail - cuff technique. The cardiac output and the p reload - cardiac output were measured in working heart mode. The shortening of unloading contraction in cardiomyocytes was observed by an edge - detector system. RESUL TS: Resting heart rate in T4 treatment rats increased significantly and the width of cardiomyocytes widened in T4 rats, but the length of cardiomyocytes had no difference compared with control values. The cardiac output in 2 - week T4 group was higher than that in control group. The cardiac output increased when the p reload increased from 5 mmhg to 15 mmhg. The unloading shortening am2 p litude at 1 Hz and 2 Hz increased in 2 - week T4 group. No difference between 2 - week T4 group and control group at 4 Hz was observed. W hen the stimulating frequency increased from 1 Hz to 4 Hz, the shortening amp litude also increased in control cardiomyocytes, but decreased in 2 - week or 4 - week T4 group. The shortening amp litude increased further in 4 - week T4 group as compared with that in control. The time to peak shortening and time from peak shortening to 75% relaxation reduced at each frequency in 2 - week and 4 - week T4 group. The shortening and relaxation rates in 2 - week or 4 - week T4 group were higher than those in control group at 1 Hz and 2 Hz. The shortening and relaxation rate kep t higher at 4 Hz in 2 - week T4 group, but showed no difference with control at 4 Hz in 4 - week T4 group. CO NCL US IO N: These above results suggest that shortening amp litude - frequency relationship of cardiomyocytes in 4 - week T4 rats is earli2 er to be altered than cardiac performance in working heart.
