[Blood supply to the heart and coronary vasodilation reserves in experimental myocardial hypertrophy].
The effects of pressure overload left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on heart performance and coronary circulation were investigated in dog experiments. The data obtained clearly demonstrate that left ventricular systolic and end-diastolic pressures were increased in LVH dogs. The heart rate and cardiac output were unchanged. However, there was a tendency toward lowering in the maximal rate of myocardial contractility and relaxation (+dP/dtmax and--dP/dtmax). It has been shown that in LVH dogs, the coronary blood flow was higher and coronary artery resistance was lower than in control ones. The peak reactive hyperemic flow was higher in LVH dogs but the coronary artery resistance calculated at the height of reactive hyperemia was similar both in control and LVH dogs, evidence of a reduction in the total coronary vasodilator reserves in the latter ones. The diastolic pressure-time index-tension time index (DPTI/TTI) ratio in LVH dogs decreased so that the value was sufficiently low to predict a reduction in endocardial perfusion even in experimental increased coronary perfusion pressure.
