چکیده
The role of the adrenergic nervous system in the response to coronary artery occlusion has been examined using surgical and chemical denervation techniques. Experiments were conducted on four groups of dogs (n = 18): 1) untreated controls; 2) intrapericardial denervation immediately prior to coronary ligation; 3) surgical denervation 2 weeks prior to the experiment; and 4) chemical sympathectomy 5 days prior to the experiment with 6-hydroxydopamine (50 mg/kg). Small artery and vein O2 saturations were obtained microspectrophotometrically and combined with radioactive microsphere blood flow determinations to calculate regional myocardial O2 consumption in open chest dogs. Denervation significantly reduced the preocclusion heart rate from 165 +/- 16 beats/min in the control to 114 +/- 13 in the chronic surgically denervated and to 137 +/- 15 in the chemically sympathectomized groups. After 2 hours of occlusion, the O2 consumption and flow were similar in the nonischemic area except for lower values in the surgically denervated group. Total coronary blood flow and O2 consumption in the occluded regions were not significantly affected by chronic denervation. However, significant elimination of areas with low venous O2 saturation (less than 20%) were found in the ischemic myocardium of the chronically denervated groups as compared with the control or with the acutely denervated dogs. The mean venous O2 saturation was found to be significantly higher in all regions of these two groups as compared with the control. The O2 extraction was also lowered. Thus, chronic denervation reduced microregional heterogeneity of oxygenation in the ischemic myocardium.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Regional blood flow distribution from the proximal arterial cannula during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in neonatal dog.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is frequently used for treatment of patients with severe hypoxemia due to life-threatening respiratory failure. Due to this hypoxemia, the myocardium of these patients is insufficiently provided with oxygen, and consequently their cardiac function commonly deteriorates. But veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO provides oxygenated blood to the coronary arteries fro...
متن کاملMechanism for flow distribution in normal and ischemic myocardium during increased ventricular preload in the dog.
The effects of increased ventricular preload on the distribution of regional blood flow in normal and ischemic myocardium were determined in deep and superficial regions of the left ventricle by using labeled microspheres. The ratio of flow in deep regions to flow in superficial regions in nonischemic tissue was 1.06 ± 0.06 and increased to 1.14 ± 0.06 when left ventricular end-diastolie pressu...

Regional myocardial blood flow was studied in the conscious dog at periods of 5 minutes to 4 days after occlusion of a major branch of the left coronary artery. Dogs were instrumented with aortic electromagnetic flow probes, occlusive cuffs on either the anterior descending or circumflex branch of the left coronary artery, and a left atrial Silastic catheter for injection of microspheres (15 +/...

The effects of coronary occlusion and of subsequent isoproterenol infusion were examined in conscious dogs. Left ventricular (LV) function was assessed by measurements of LV diameter, pressure, velocity and dP/dt/P, and regional myocardial function was assessed by measurements of segment length (SL) and velocity of SL shortening in normal, border, and ischemic zones. Regional myocardial functio...
