Elevated levels of plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) have been suggested to impair water excretion in congestive heart failure. In the present study, to determine a role for AVP in the impaired water excretion in rats with the inferior vena cava constriction (IVC), two AVP antagonists were used in the IVC rats at the proximal portion of the hepatic vein under the diaphragm and in sham-operated (control) rats. After surgery, 48 hrs were allowed before the experiments were started. A mean cardiac index of 260.0 .+-. 12.3 ml/min/kg in the IVC rats was significantly lower than that in the control rats, 323.6 .+-. 13.2 ml/min/kg (P < 0.01). The rats were given an antidiuretic antagonist, [1-(.beta.-mercapto-.beta., .beta.-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid), 2-(O-ethyl)-D-tyrosine, 4-valine] AVP (30 .mu.g/kg) or the antagonist vehicle, i.p., and 20 min later they were administered 30 ml/kg of water orally. Minimal urinary osmolality (Uosm) in the IVC rats receiving the vehicle was significantly greater than the control rats (292.7 .+-. 53.1 vs. 97.8 .+-. 10.6 mOsm/kg H2O, P < 0.01). The administration of the antidiuretic antagonist in the IVC rats decreased minimal Uosm to 90.0 .+-. 3.6 mOsm/kg H2O. This value was significantly lower than the vehicle rats (P < 0.01), and was a comparable level to minimal Uosm of 82.1 .+-. 3.7 mOsm/kg H2O in the control rats receiving the antidiuretic antagonist. The IVC rats excreted 51.4 .+-. 5.9% of the water load in three hr, a value significantly less than that excreted by the control rats, 95.1 .+-. 6.0% (P < 0.01). When treated with the antidiuretic antagonist, the percent of water load excreted increased to 143.7 .+-. 9.4% in the IVC rats. The efficacy of the antidiuretic antagonist was associated with nonsuppressible plasma AVP levels. The plasma AVP level of 2.1 .+-. 0.6 pg/ml was not sufficiently suppressed in the IVC rats by the administration of water, which induced hypoosmolality. In contrast, in the control rats plasma AVP was decreased to 0.7 .+-. 0.2 pg/ml in the same situation. However, the elevated AVP did not contribute to the maintenance of blood pressure since the vasopressor antagonist, [1-(.beta.-mercapto-.beta., .beta.-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid), 2-(O-methyl)-tyrosine] AVP, did not affect mean arterial pressure. These results therefore indicate that the non-osmotic release of AVP is inappropriately increased to impair renal water excretion in the IVC rats and the biological efficacy of the antidiuretic antagonist in such a state is expected.
