[Modifications of the coronary blood flow and of myocardial lactate metabolism due to pacing in coronary disease].
The variation of coronary sinus blood flow during pacing-induced tachycardia shows no direct correlation with the number of affected coronary arteries. As a functional test, total coronary blood flow is a parameter with low sensitivity in characterizing patients with coronary artery disease and thus appears unsuitable in the selection of patients for medical or surgical treatment. The thermodilution technique remains useful for the assessment of the effects of new drugs on the heart, for the evaluation of a therapeutic intervention, and for the selective measurement of regional myocardial perfusion in the anterior interventricular vein.
