title: [Myocardial perfusion in myocardiopathies: study at rest and during induced tachycardia].
abstract: The authors have compared myocardial perfusion, i.e. the coronary blood flow per unit of myocardial mass, in 9 patients with cardiomyopathy and 5 normal subjects, both at rest and during coronary sinus pacing-induced tachycardia at a rate of 150 beats/mn. In the cardiomyopathies, myocardial perfusion was found to be decreased at rest, and to remain abnormally low during induced tachycardia despite the evidence for a significant coronary reserve. During pacing there were, in addition to induced chest pain, indirect signs of sub-endocardial ischaemia which could explain the angina of effort found in certain cardiomyopathies, especially those of the obstructive hypertrophic type.
