Coronary Flow and Left Ventricular Function during Environmental Stress

نویسنده

چکیده

A canine model was used to study the effects of different environmental stresses on the heart and coronary circulation. The heart was surgically instrumented to measure coronary blood flow, left ventricular pressure, and other cardiovascular variables. Coronary flow was recorded by telemetry. Physiologic data were processed and analyzed by analog and digital computers. By these methods the physiologic response to altitude hypoxia, carbon monoxide, hypercapnia, acceleration, exercise, and the interaction of altitude hypoxia and carbon monoxide were described. The effects of some of these stresses on the heart and coronary circulation are discussed.

LEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION

In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...

Coronary angioplasty and left ventricular function in single vessel coronary artery disease.

Left ventricular function was investigated in 86 patients with single vessel coronary artery disease before and three to six months after successful angioplasty. Before angioplasty thallium-201 perfusion scintigraphy and technetium-99m gated equilibrium ventriculography in most patients showed that stress testing (exercise and ice water stimulation and isometric handgrip respectively) induced m...

Objective: The present study investigated the effects of 10-week High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and quercetin consumption on dimension and functional left ventricular adaptations in men with hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).   Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental randomized, placebo‑controlled and double‑blind s...

Ventricular function. II. Quantitative relationship between coronary flow and ventricular function with observations on unilateral failure.

Left main coronary artery blood flow, cardiac output and pressures in the pulmonary artery, the aorta and both atria were continuously recorded in the dog. Restriction of left coronary flow increased left atrial pressure substantially, but right atrial pressure only slightly; left ventricular work, cardiac output and arterial pressui'e fell markedly. During restriction of left coronary flow, th...

Oxidative Stress and Microcirculatory Flow Abnormalities in the Ventricles during Atrial Fibrillation

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often present with typical angina pectoris and mildly elevated levels of cardiac troponin (non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) during an acute episode of AF. However, in a large proportion of these patients, significant coronary artery disease is excluded by coronary angiography, which suggests that AF itself influences myocardial blood flow. T...
