Spectral analysis of heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) variabilities (BPV and HRV) is widely available and utilized in understanding the dynamic cardiovascular autonomic regulation in a variety of pathophysiological conditions. In conscious cold-stressed (CS) rats, we examined the effect of a 7-day regimen administration of losartan, a selective nonpeptide angiotensin AT1 receptor blockade, on BPV and HRV at three frequency components: very-low frequency (VLF), low frequency (LF), and high frequency (HF). Key findings in changes of systolic BP (SBP), HR, and spectral power densities for cardiopulmonary oscillations (HF), sympathetic oscillations (LF), cardiovascular myogenic oscillations (VLF), and overall autonomic activity total power (TP) showed: (I) In the resting PreCS trial, compared with the saline, losartan increased HFBPV, TPHRV, all three HRV frequency powers, and the occurrence of the dicrotic notch (DN). However, it decreased SBP, HR, and the LFBPV frequency power. (II) In the CS trial, losartan significantly decreased SBP and DN occurrence and HR and LF/HFHRV but significantly increased HFHRV, TPBPV, and all three BPV frequency powers. In addition, similar to the saline, losartan showed positively correlated LFBPV and VLFBPV. Conversely, losartan converted the original inverse correlations between LFHRV and LFBPV of CS to a positive correlation. (III) Compared with saline in PreCS and CS trials, losartan detached the corresponding sympathetic oscillations between LFBPV and LFHRV. The overall result indicates that endogenous angiotensin II, through stimulation of the AT1 receptor, augments sympathetic tone but attenuates sympathetic oscillations in rats, particularly under the stressful cooling impacts.
