title: [Theory and critical aspects of the so-called steal effect of coronary dilators of the dipyridamole type].
abstract: The stenocardias appearing in the dipyridamol test are explained by the hypothesis of a steal effect. This notion is, concerning its contents, to be demarcated against other regulatory processes. With the help of a simple model can be made clear that the thesis of a steal effect stands in contradiction to haemodynamic basic conceptions and cannot be used for the explanation of the paradoxical effect of dipyridamol.
