It has been stated that the coronary flow paradoxically falls in response to tachycardia if the coronary artery is stenotic and "compliant". To clarify this, we measured coronary vascular resistance by cannulating the left anterior descending coronary artery in open-chest dogs. In constant flow perfusion of 41±5 ml/min/100 gm, coronary perfusion pressure was decreased by pacing, while at lower flow of 14±3 ml, it was increased by pacing, indicating that coronary vascular response was reversed. In constant pressure perfusion, coronary vascular resistance was reduced by pacing at high perfusion pressure, while it was paradoxically increased by pacing at low perfusion pressure. In the third experiment at constant flow perfusion, perfusing blood was changed from arterial to venous blood to induce myocardial hypoxia. At high flow, venous blood perfusion reduced coronary vascular resistance, while at low flow it increased coronary vascular resistance. All three experiments indicated that at high perfusion, tachycardia and hypoxia caused a reduction in coronary vascular resistance to meet the increased myocardial oxygen demand; however, at low perfusion, those stimuli increased coronary vascular resistance. The present study showed that the coronary vascular response is reversed at low flow and suggested that those stimuli might reduce flow further in patients with stenotic coronary artery and could be one of the mechanisms causing the development of myocardial infarction in those patients.
