Variable effect of nifedipine on myocardial blood flow at three grades of coronary occlusion in the dog.

چکیده
The effect of nifedipine on myocardial blood flow at various grades of coronary stenosis is unknown, Thus 22 open-chest dogs underwent carotid to left anterior descending perfusion with flow and perfusion pressure monitoring. Grades of coronary occlusion were defined by minimum diastolic perfusion pressure. six dogs (group 1) underwent moderate occlusion to 50 to 55 mm Hg diastolic perfusion pressure; (group 2), severe occlusion to 40 mm Hg perfusion pressure; and six (group 3), more severe occlusion at 25 mm Hg. Regional myocardial blood flow was measured with radioactive microspheres before and after the intracoronary injection of 10 microgram of nifedipine. In group 1, nifedipine induced epicardial hyperemia and little change in endocardial flow in the ischemic zone. In group 2, nifedipine induced epicardial hyperemia from 1.06 to 1.39 mg/g per min, but endocardial flow decreased from 0.70 to 0.60 ml/g per min. In group 3, there was no change in blood flow. Thus the effect of nifedipine on myocardial blood flow depends on the extent of occlusion. Furthermore for certain degrees of occlusion, redistribution of blood flow from endocardium to epicardium has been shown to occur.

متن کاملThe effects of nifedipine on myocardial blood flow and contraction during ischemia in the dog.
Nifedipine has been proposed as an agent to preserve viability and function of ischemic myocardium. We studied 23 open-chest dogs that underwent carotid-to-left anterior coronary artery perfusion with flow probe and perfusion pressure monitoring. Segment length was measured with ultrasonic crystals in the ischemic and nonischemic endocardium. Myocardial blood flow was measured with radioactive ...
متن کاملEffect of nitroglycerin and nifedipine on subendocardial perfusion in the presence of a flow-limiting coronary stenosis in the awake dog.
This study examined the effects of nitroglycerin and nifedipine on the transmural distribution of myocardial blood flow when ischemia-induced vasodilation of the distal coronary vasculature caused a proximal coronary stenosis to become flow-limiting. Studies were performed in chronically instrumented awake dogs with electromagnetic flowmeter probes and hydraulic occluders on the left circumflex...
متن کاملProtective effect of early and late treatment with nifedipine during myocardial infarction in the conscious dog.
The effect of early and late nifedipine treatment on collateral blood flow and myocardial infarct size was investigated in 24 previously instrumented conscious dogs. Nifedipine was infused intravenously for 5 hr beginning 15 min (n = 9) and 3 hr (n = 6) after permanent occlusion of the midcircumflex coronary artery and compared with early and delayed vehicle treatment (controls; n = 9). Doses o...
متن کاملSelective improvement in subendocardial perfusion distal to a flow-limiting coronary artery stenosis: effects of the new calcium channel blocking agent, FR 34235, nifedipine and diltiazem.
The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of a new calcium channel blocker, FR 34235, on the distribution of blood flow between subendocardium and subepicardium (endo/epi) distal to a proximal flow-limiting coronary artery stenosis, with those of nifedipine and diltiazem in anesthetized dogs. Myocardial blood flow distribution was determined by using 15-mu radioactive microsph...
