Coronary Blood Flow

چکیده
In the experimental animal the basic and controversial problem was studied of the influence of cardiac contraction on coronary blood flow. Normally beating hearts were perfused at a constant pressure, and coronary inflow and outflow were determined. In order to assess the role of systole, prolonged periods of ventricular asystole and fibrillation were induced and observations were made of the changes in coronary flow. With the cessation of cardiac contraction blood flow in the coronary arteries and coronary sinus rose appreciably. The results of these studies support the concept that contraction of the heart muscle, by compression of the myocardial vascular bed, behaves as a throttling mechanism and impedes coronary flow. The method employed permits a separation and quantitation of the effects on coronary flow resulting from cardiac contraction and the vasomotor state of the coronary vessels.

The effect of turbulence model on predicting the development and progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis
A severe case of stenosis in coronary arteries results in turbulence in the blood flow which may lead to the formation or progression of atherosclerosis. This study investigated the turbulent blood flow in a coronary artery with rigid walls, as well as 80% single and double stenoses on blood flow. A finite element-based software package, ADINA 8.8, was employed to model the blood flow. The hemo...
متن کاملThe Role of Nitric Oxide and Prostaglandins in the Effect of Adenosine on Contractility, Heart Rate and Coronary Blood Flow in Guinea Pig Isolated Heart
It is a well-established fact that adenosine and its receptor subtypes (A 1 and A ) are involved in changes of contractility, heart rate and coronary blood flow (CBF) under different circumstances. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of nitric oxide and prostaglandins in development of these changes. For this purpose, Nitro-L-Arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and indomethacin as inhibit...

Arterial drug concentration distribution determines local toxicity. The safety issues dealt with Drug-Eluting Stents (DESs) reveal the needs for investigation about the effective factors contributing to fluctuations in arterial drug uptake. The current study focused on the importance of hypertension as an important and controversial risk factor among researchers on the efficacy of Heparin-Eluti...

The circulatory responses to high equinalgesic doses of morphine are compared with those of pethidin. The decrease in mean arterial blood pressure in case of morphine was 28p.c., with a paralleled and identical decrease in total peripheral resistance and no negative inotropic effects. Pethidine decreased blood pressure 54p.c., as a result of peripheral vasodilation of 46p.c. and a sharp drop...

Objective: Assuming that cardiac rehabilitation and exercise significantly reduces mortality rate in coronary artery disease and has an important role in secondary prevention, the purpose of this study is to assess the effects of strength training and cardiac rehabilitation programs on biomechanical parameters of blood flow velocity and blood flow rate and these relationships with the brachial ...
متن کاملExpression of phosphorylated histone H2AX in blood lymphocytes of patients undergoing angiographic procedures following exposure to X‐rays
Introduction: Coronary angiography is a Diagnostic-Therapeutic method involving ionizing radiation. This method causes to DNA damage with form double stranded breaks which is followed by the phosphorylation of the histone, H2AX. H2AX is a key factor in the repair process of damaged DNA which will accumulate to damage sites. In human cells, H2AX constitutes about 10% of the H2A ...
