Aims: To assess the acute effects of intravenous ivabradine, a selective bradycardic agent, on carotid sinus baroreflex-mediated sympathetic arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) responses.Methods and results: In anesthetized and vagotomized Wistar-Kyoto rats (n = 6), carotid sinus baroreceptor regions were isolated. Changes in splanchnic sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), AP, and HR in response to a step-wise pressure input were examined before and after intravenous ivabradine (2 mg/kg). Ivabradine did not affect the response range of SNA (91.8 +/- 6.5 vs. 93.5 +/- 9.8%) or AP (89.6 +/- 10.6 vs. 91.0 +/- 9.7 mm Hg). Ivabradine significantly reduced the minimum HR from 369.4 +/- 8.4 to 223.3 +/- 13.2 (P < 0.001) but did not attenuate the HR response range (69.1 +/- 7.0 vs. 82.5 +/- 9.6 beats/min).Conclusions: Ivabradine does not acutely affect baroreflex-mediated sympathetic AP regulation and also spares the magnitude of the sympathetic HR response, despite significant bradycardia. The preserved sympathetic HR response, which could not be afforded by beta-blockers, may contribute to some beneficial clinical effects of ivabradine. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
