BACKGROUND: The mechanisms underlying premature ventricular contraction (PVC)-induced cardiomyopathy (PIC) remain unknown. Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) afferent fibers are implicated in the reflex processing of cardiac stress.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether cardiac TRPV1 afferent signaling promote PIC.
METHODS: A PIC swine model (50% PVC burden) was created via an implanted pacemaker. We selectively depleted cardiac TRPV1 afferent fibers using percutaneous epicardial application of resiniferatoxin (RTX). Animals were randomized to PVC only (n = 11), PVC+RTX (n = 11), or control (n = 6). We examined early-stage (4 weeks after implantation; n = 5) and late-stage PIC (8 weeks after implantation; n = 6). At terminal experimentation, animals underwent echocardiography, serum sampling, and physiological and autonomic reflex testing.
RESULTS: Depletion of cardiac TRPV1 afferents by RTX treatment was confirmed by absent sensory fibers and absent functional responses to TRPV1 activators. Left ventricular ejection fraction was worse in late-stage than early-stage PIC (P <.01). At 4 weeks (early stage), left ventricular ejection fraction was higher in PVC+RTX vs PVC animals (51.7% ± 1.6% vs 45.0% ± 2.1%; P = .030), whereas no significant difference between PVC and PVC+RTX was observed at 8 weeks (late stage). Histologic studies demonstrated reduced fibrosis in PVC+RTX vs PVC alone at 4 weeks (2.27% ± 0.14% vs 3.01% ± 0.21%; P = .020), suggesting that RTX mitigated profibrotic pathways induced by persistent PVCs.
CONCLUSION: TRPV1 afferent depletion alleviates left ventricular dysfunction in early- but not late-stage PIC. This temporal effect suggests that multiple pathways promote PIC, of which TRPV1 afferents are a part.
