Contractile properties of left ventricular papillary muscles and atria from streptozotocin-diabetic and from non-diabetic rats fed a 40 % galactose diet were measured in vitro. There was a characteristic slowing of twitch responses for both tissues and both treatments (P < 0.05). Time to peak contraction was prolonged by 18-33 % and maximum rate of contraction was reduced by 10-17 %. Relaxation was also affected, with a 13-37 % increase in half-relaxation time and a 7-25 % reduction in the maximum rate of relaxation. There were treatment differences between papillary muscles and left atrium, diabetes having a more marked effect on the former, whereas galactosaemia caused more pronounced changes in the latter. The resting beat rate of the right atrium was 22 % reduced in diabetic and galactosaemic rats (P < 0.01). When maximally stimulated with isoprenaline, beat rate did not rise to the level of stimulated controls (P < 0.01). Papillary muscle speed-related contractile properties also showed a reduced response to isoprenaline in diabetic and galactosaemic groups compared to normal controls. The greatest deficit was found for maximum rate of relaxation where responsiveness was 41 and 34 % less for diabetic and galactosaemic groups respectively (P < 0.0 1). Polyol pathway metabolites in diabetic ventricles were increased 8-fold. In galactosaemic rats galactitol accumulation led to a 530-fold increase in polyols. The data suggest that polyol pathway activity may be an important factor in the aetiology of contractile and chronotropic changes in diabetic and galactosaemic cardiomyopathy.
