Genomic and nongenomic effects of aldosterone in the rat heart: why is spironolactone cardioprotective?
1. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonism with spironolactone reduces mortality in heart failure on top of ACE inhibition. To investigate the underlying mechanism, we compared the actions of both aldosterone and spironolactone to those of angiotensin (Ang) II in the rat heart. 2. Hearts of male Wistar rats were perfused according to Langendorff. Ang II and aldosterone increased left ventricular pressure (LVP) by maximally 11+/-4 and 9+/-2%, and decreased coronary flow (CF) by maximally 36+/-7 and 20+/-4%, respectively. Sp
