1. Mechanical ventilation evokes a corresponding arterial pressure variability (APV) which is decreased by beta-adrenoceptor antagonism Therefore, in this study we set out to determine whether the respiratory-related APV can be used to assess cardiac sympathetic tone.2. Computer-generated broad-band mechanical ventilation (0-3 Hz) was applied to Sprague-Dawley rats that had been anaesthetized with ketamine and paralysed with pancuronium. APV and its relationship to lung volume variability (LVV-APV) was systematically quantified with auto- or cross-spectral frequency domain analysis.3. APV and LVV-APV transfer magnitudes between 0.5 and 1.5 Hz show ed dose-dependent suppression by propranolol from 0.01 to 1 mg kg(-1) while the static value of arterial pressure remained unchanged. Stroke volume variability, assessed by the use of a pulse contour method, exhibited a similar pattern of suppression by propranolol. In contrast, heart rate variability was not lowered with propranolol.4. The effect of propranolol on respiratory-related APV persisted wen in the presence of combined alpha-adrenoceptor and muscarinic receptor blockade by phentolamine and atropine.5. The frequency range of 0.5-1.0 Hz was optimal for LVV-APV transfer magnitude to correlate with cardiac sympathetic tone.6. We conclude that respiratory-related APV may provide a valid assessment of cardiac sympathetic regulation which is independent of parasympathetic and vascular sympathetic influences in ketamine-anaesthetized and positive pressure-ventilated rats.
