Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: The goals of this study were to elucidate the scaffolding effect of blood-filled coronary vasculature and to determine the functional role of recruited collateral flow in modulating left ventricular (LV) distensibility during balloon coronary occlusion (BCO). BACKGROUND: Although LV distensibility is an important factor affecting acute dilation after myocardial infarction, the response of LV diastolic pressure-volume (P-V) relations to coronary occlusion is inconsistent in humans. METHODS: Micromanometer and conductance derived LV P-V loops were serially obtained from 16 patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Coronary collateral flow recruitment was angiographically evaluated by contralateral and ipsilateral contrast injection during BCO. RESULTS: In the group with poor collateral flow (grades 0-I; n = 8), BCO resulted in a downward and rightward shift of the diastolic P-V relations, where end-diastolic volume (EDV) increased by 13% (p < 0.05) without appreciable change in end-diastolic pressure (EDP; 18 +/- 6 to 18 +/- 8 mm Hg). In contrast, BCO in the group with good collateral flow (grades II-III; n = 8) shifted the diastolic P-V relations upward to the right with a concomitant increase in minimal pressure (min-P; 6 +/- 4 to 10 +/- 5 mm Hg, p < 0.05), EDP (15 +/- 7 to 21 +/- 9 mm Hg, p < 0.05) and EDV (+/- 10%, p < 0.05). Reactive hyperemia after balloon deflation caused a rapid and parallel upward shift of the diastolic P-V relations with a marked increase in min-P and EDP, especially in the group with poor collateral flow, before any improvement in LV contraction or relaxation abnormalities. CONCLUSIONS: Grades of coronary filling, either retrograde or anterograde, abruptly modulate LV distensibility through the rapid scaffolding effect of coronary vascular turgor.
