Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Mechanisms related to alterations in the diastolic properties of the left ventricle during angina were studied in seven patients with coronary artery disease. Single plane left ventriculograms were obtained using a high fidelity micromanometer-tipped catheter in both the resting state and immediately after rapid cardiac pacing. In all patients, typical anginal pain developed with pacing stress. After atrial pacing, the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure increased from 10 +/- 3 to 21 +/- 7 mm Hg (+/- standard deviation) (p less than 0.005) regardless of the changes in the end-diastolic volume. The ejection fraction was reduced from 59 +/- 10 to 48 +/- 13% (p less than 0.05). The diastolic pressure-volume curves shifted upward in post-pacing beats in four patients, while in three the curves shifted more to the right. The regional myocardial function was expressed in quantitative terms by a radial coordinate system with the origin at the center of gravity of the end-diastolic silhouette. Two representative radial grids for normal and ischemic segments were selected. In the normal segment, the end-diastolic length was augmented by 15% (p less than 0.005) and was associated with a 24% increase in stroke excursion with pacing stress (p less than 0.05). The increase in diastolic pressure was accompanied by comparable increases in end-diastolic length, and the diastolic pressure-length relation moved up to the higher portion of the single curve. In the ischemic segment, the end-diastolic length remained unchanged in the post-pacing beat, but segment shortening was significantly reduced.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
