  • Descrição: Propofol is a short-acting intravenous induction agent that induces cardiovascular depression. However, the effects of propofol on intrinsic myocardial contractility remain debatable. Thus, we studied the effects of three concentrations of propofol (1, 3, and 10 micrograms.ml-1, respectively) and its solvent on the mechanics and energetics of isolated rat left ventricular papillary muscles. Propofol and its solvent did not induce any significant inotropic effect as shown by the lack of significant changes in maximum unloaded shortening velocity and in active isometric force. Nevertheless, propofol induced a slight decrease in isometric force (92 +/- 6%, 95 +/- 5%, and 95 +/- 4%, respectively, all P less than 0.01) under certain experimental conditions (i.e., after isometric stabilization). Using various afterloaded twitches, the peak power output and the curvature of the force-velocity curve were calculated. Propofol and its solvent did not significantly modify these two energetic parameters, indicating that it did not change myothermal economy and cross-bridge kinetics. Propofol impaired isotonic relaxation, suggesting that it decreased calcium uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum, whereas its solvent alone did not. However, alteration of sarcoplasmic reticulum function was moderate, since postrest potentiation and postrest recovery were unmodified after propofol. It was concluded that propofol induces moderate changes on intrinsic myocardial contractility. These results suggest that cardiovascular depression observed with propofol in vivo is not related to intrinsic myocardial depression.
