Our previous study indicated that intravenously administered ivabradine (IVA) augmented the dynamic heart rate (HR) response to moderate-intensity vagal nerve stimulation (VNS). Considering an accentuated antagonism, the results were somewhat paradoxical; i.e., the accentuated antagonism indicates that an activation of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels via the accumulation of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) augments the HR response to VNS, whereas the inhibition of HCN channels by IVA also augmented the HR response to VNS. To remove the possible influence from the accentuated antagonism, we examined the effects of IVA on the dynamic vagal control of HR under β-blockade. In anesthetized rats (n= 7), the right vagal nerve was stimulated for 10 min according to binary white noise signals between 0 and 10 Hz (V0–10), between 0 and 20 Hz (V0–20), and between 0 and 40 Hz (V0–40). The transfer function from VNS to HR was estimated. Under β-blockade (propranolol, 2 mg/kg iv), IVA (2 mg/kg iv) did not augment the asymptotic low-frequency gain but increased the asymptotic high-frequency gain in V0–10(0.53 ± 0.10 vs. 1.74 ± 0.40 beats/min/Hz,P< 0.01) and V0–20(0.79 ± 0.14 vs. 2.06 ± 0.47 beats/min/Hz,P< 0.001). These changes, which were observed under a minimal influence from sympathetic background tone, may reflect an increased contribution of the acetylcholine-sensitive potassium channel (IK,ACh) pathway after IVA, because the HR control via theIK,AChpathway is faster and acts in the frequency range higher than the cAMP-mediated pathway.NEW & NOTEWORTHYSince ivabradine (IVA) inhibits hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, interactions among the sympathetic effect, vagal effect, and IVA can occur in the control of heart rate (HR). To remove the sympathetic effect, we estimated the transfer function from vagal nerve stimulation to HR under β-blockade in anesthetized rats. IVA augmented the high-frequency dynamic gain during low- and moderate-intensity vagal nerve stimulation. Untethering the hyperpolarizing effect of acetylcholine-sensitive potassium channels after IVA may be a possible underlying mechanism.
