The objective of this study was to determine the effect of passive myocardium on the coronary arteries under distension and compression. To simulate distension and compression, we placed a diastolic-arrested heart in a Lucite box, where both the intravascular pressure and external (box) pressure were varied independently and expressed as a pressure difference (DeltaP = intravascular pressure - box pressure). The DeltaP-cross-sectional area relationship of the first several generations of porcine coronary arteries and the DeltaP-volume relationship of the coronary arterial tree (vessels >0.5 mm in diameter) were determined using a video densitometric technique in the range of +150 to -150 mmHg. The vasodilated left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery of six KCl-arrested hearts were perfused with iodine and 3% Cab-O-Sil. The intravascular pressure was varied in a triangular pattern, whereas the absolute cross-sectional area of each vessel and the total arterial volume were calculated using video densitometry under different box pressures (0, 50, 100, and 150 mmHg). In the range of positive DeltaP, we found that the compliance of the proximal LAD artery in situ (4.85 +/- 3.8 x 10-3 mm2/mmHg) is smaller than that of the same artery in vitro (16.5 +/- 6 x 10-3 mm2/mmHg; P = 0.009). Hence, the myocardium restricts the compliance of the epicardial artery under distension. In the negative DeltaP range, the LAD artery does not collapse, whereas the same vessel readily collapses when tested in vitro. Hence, we conclude that myocardial tethering prevents collapse of large blood vessel under compression. |
