title: [Effect of aortocoronary bypass surgery on left ventricular function and coronary sinus blood flow in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction].
abstract: Left ventricular function and coronary sinus blood flow were evaluated in 7 patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction at rest before and after aortocoronary bypass surgery, and during exercise after surgery. Same evaluations were performed in 8 normal subject (G-C). Cardiac index (CI) at rest (2.09 +/- 0.55 l/min/m2) significantly increased after operation (2.94 +/- 0.59 l/min/m2) (p less than 0.02). There was no difference between CI during exercise after operation (5.94 +/- 1.51 l/min/m2) and that in G-C. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) at rest before operation (16 +/- 8 mmHg) was significantly higher than that in G-C (p less than 0.05). This difference disappeared after operation. LVEDP during exercise after operation (25 +/- 10 mmHg) was significantly higher than that in G-C (p less than 0.01). Coronary sinus blood flow (CSF) at rest (73 +/- 15 ml/min) significantly increased after operation (123 +/- 44 ml/min) (p less than 0.02). There was no difference between CSF during exercise after operation (282 +/- 99 ml/min) and that in G-C. These data indicated that the aortocoronary bypass surgery was effective on left ventricular function and coronary sinus blood flow in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
