Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Nitroglycerin (NTG) and nifedipine (NIF) have the potential to augment coronary blood flow in addition to reducing peripheral determinants of myocardial oxygen demand as a synergistic protective mechanism during ischemia. To examine these effects, systemic and coronary hemodynamic responses were measured continuously before and during brief periods of myocardial ischemia induced by left anterior descending coronary balloon occlusion in 26 patients undergoing angioplasty (PTCA). Data were compared for two matched occlusion periods, one control and one "drug" occlusion. In 17 patients (NTG group), 200 micrograms of intracoronary NTG was given immediately before coronary occlusion. In nine patients (NIF group), 10 mg of sublingual NIF was given 15 minutes before the "drug" occlusion. NTG significantly but transiently reduced mean arterial pressure (91 +/- 11 to 82 +/- 15 mm Hg, p less than 0.05) and augmented basal coronary blood flow (95 +/- 38 to 127 +/- 54 ml/min, p less than 0.05) but did not alter great vein blood flow (59 +/- 29 vs 61 +/- 29 ml/min) or coronary occlusion pressure (25 +/- 7 to 24 +/- 7 mm Hg) during ischemia. NIF significantly reduced systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure (119 +/- 21 to 95 +/- 8 mm Hg, p less than 0.001) and heart rate-pressure product from control. NIF maintained basal great vein blood flow (125 +/- 41 to 106 +/- 57 ml/min) during reduced myocardial oxygen demand, but did not affect great vein blood flow (73 +/- 29 to 79 +/- 37 ml/min) or coronary occlusion pressures during ischemia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
