Coronary Circulation
T he effects of hypertension and hypertrophy on the coronary circulation are subjects of increasing investigative interest.1-3 Animal studies have shown that the major conduit arteries are enlarged in pressure-overloaded, hypertrophied ventricles, but this increase falls short of paralleling the extent of hypertrophy.4 This enlargement is accompanied by an increase in the extracellular componen...

متن کاملCoronary Circulation After Coronary Spasm
To examine whether acute myocardial ischemia activates the coagulation system and platelet activation in the coronary circulation, we measured plasma levels of fibrinopeptide A and j3-thromboglobulin in the coronary sinus and the aortic root simultaneously in 15 patients with coronary spastic angina before and after the left coronary spasm induced by intracoronary injection of acetylcholine and...
متن کاملThe human coronary collateral circulation.
BACKGROUND Coronary collaterals are an alternative source of blood supply to myocardium jeopardized by ischaemia. Well-developed coronary collateral arteries in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) mitigate myocardial infarcts and improve survival. METHODS AND RESULTS Collateral arteries preventing myocardial ischaemia during brief vascular occlusion are present in 1/3 of patients with...
متن کاملPharmacology of the coronary circulation.
Until recently, the medical management of coronary artery disease consisted of depressing the heart's requirements for oxygen. Little thought was directed towards improving coronary blood flow as it was believed that atherosclerotic lesions were fixed, unchangeable obstructions. Attempts at pharmacological coronary dilatation were, therefore, considered futile. Within the last few years, these ...
