Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the first clinical heart failure treatment that both acutely and chronically improves chamber systolic function while reducing mortality. The mechanical impact of CRT is immediate and well documented, yet its chronic influences on myocyte function and adrenergic modulation that may contribute to its sustained benefits are largely unknown. We used a canine model of dyssynchronous heart failure (DHF; left-bundle ablation, atrial tachypacing for 6-wks) and CRT (DHF for 3 weeks, bi-ventricular tachypacing for subsequent 3-wks), contrasting both to non-failing controls. CRT restored contractile synchrony and improved systolic function compared to DHF. Myocyte sarcomere shortening and calcium transients were markedly depressed at rest and after isoproterenol stimulation in DHF (both anterior and lateral walls); and CRT substantially improved both. β1 and β2 stimulation was enhanced, coupled to increased β1 receptor abundance but no change in binding affinity. CRT also augmented adenylate cyclase activity over DHF. Inhibitory G-protein (Gαi) suppression of β-adrenergic stimulation was greater in DHF and reversed by CRT. Gαi expression itself was unaltered; however, expression of negative regulators of Gαi signaling (particularly RGS3) rose uniquely with CRT over DHF and controls. CRT blunted elevated myocardial catecholamines in DHF, restoring levels towards control. CRT improves rest and β-adrenergic stimulated myocyte function and calcium handling, up-regulating β1 receptors, adenylate cyclase activity, and suppressing Gi-coupled signaling associated with novel RGS upregulation. The result is greater rest and sympathetic reserve despite reduced myocardial neuro-stimulation, as components underlying its net benefit.
