Constancy of pressure-rate product in pacing-induced angina pectoris.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pressure-rate product during anginal pain produced by right atrial pacing was studied in 12 patients before, during, and after an angiotensin infusion sufficient to produce a significant rise in blood pressure. During the infusion the pain occurred at a significantly lower heart rate (P less than 0.001). However, the pressure-rate product was similar during anginal pain before and during the angiotensin-induced hypertension and after it wore off. Our studies support the concept that in each individual there is a constant level of myocardial oxygen consumption, as expressed by the pressure-rate product, at which anginal pain occurs.

Reproducibility of clinical and hemodynamic parameters during pacing stress testing in patients with angina pectoris.
The reproducibility of clinical and hemodynamic events during two successive pacing periods separated by a 20-minute interval was evaluated in 33 patients with stable angina pectoris. Continuous pacing with stepwise increase in pacing rate was assessed in 19 patients and discontinuous pacing in which pacing was temporarily interrupted at each rate was evaluated in the other 14 patients. During ...
متن کاملHaemodynamic and metabolic effects of atenolol in patients with angina pectoris.
Myocardial substrate extraction, coronary sinus flow, left ventricular pressure, and cardiac output were measured in 11 patients with angina pectoris at three pacing rates before and after atenolol (0.2 mg/kg). Left ventricular pressures, and the product of systolic pressure time index and heart rate did not change, but max dP/dt and KV max fell after atenolol. Only at the lowest pacing rate di...
متن کاملInvestigation of the physiological basis for increased exercise threshold for angina pectoris after physical conditioning.
Eight patients with coronary heart disease and exertional angina pectoris successfully completed an 11-15 wk program of endurance exercise conditioning. Angina threshold was determined by upright bicycle ergometer exercise and by atrial pacing. The product of heart rate and arterial systolic blood pressure at the exercise angina threshold was higher after conditioning. suggesting that condition...
متن کاملAcute decrease in left ventricular diastolic chamber distensibility during simulated angina in isolated hearts.
It is not clear what factors contribute to the prompt and reversible decrease in left ventricular diastolic chamber distensibility during angina pectoris that is induced by an increase in myocardial energy demand due to exercise or pacing tachycardia. To simulate the demand ischemia that occurs clinically during pacing-induced angina, we used isolated, blood-perfused rabbit hearts with restrict...
متن کاملMyocardial Function in Coronary Artery
Right atrial pacing was performed in 21 patients with and 10 patients without coronary artery disease (CAD). The values for the control (C) and maximum paced (P) heart rate were similar in all patients. During pacing cardiac output did not change, and mean arterial pressure remained constant except for a slight increase during pacing-induced angina pectoris in 11 patients with CAD. Left ventric...
