title: [Coronary vessel tonus and cardiac resistance to ischemia in chronic adriamycin-induced myocardial damage].
abstract: The rats receiving a cumulative dose of adriamycin, 15-20 mg/kg exhibited delayed weight gain, ascites, and increased relative liver weight. The animals' isolated hearts perfused at a constant rate in the Krebs' solution in a retrograde fashion showed lowered perfusion pressure, indicating reduced coronary vascular tone. At the constant heart rate, the hearts from the adriamycin-treated animals consumed oxygen less at equally increased pressure. In total ischemia, higher cellular lactate and K+ yield occurred than in controls, the severity of acidosis being nearly similar. Prior to ischemia, the pressure produced by the hearts from adriamycin-treated animals was less but, following reperfusion, it more rapidly became normal than that in controls. The results suggest a compensatory increase in myocardial glycolysis during chronic administration of adriamycin.
