Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This study investigated the controversial relationship between reduction in internal mammary artery (IMA) graft blood flow and left ventricular function in a canine model. Ten dogs underwent IMA grafting to the left anterior descending coronary artery. The left anterior descending coronary artery proximal to the IMA graft was intermittently occluded while IMA flow was mechanically controlled for 5-minute periods to produce four IMA flow groups representing 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of unoccluded IMA graft blood flow. As a control, the left ventricle was reperfused with native left anterior descending coronary artery flow between each IMA graft flow period to allow return to steady state. Sonomicrometry was used to obtain stroke work end-diastolic dimension relationship data for regional and global left ventricular function for each of the four flow groups. The global pressure recruitable work area relationship showed a significant rightward shift at 25% of unoccluded IMA flow, whereas the regional pressure recruitable work area relationship shifted at 50% of unoccluded IMA flow. Thus, regional myocardial function is more sensitive to reductions in IMA blood flow than is global left ventricular performance, and there is a significant IMA flow reserve for global left ventricular function.
