Coronary vascular responses to acetylcholine (ACh, 3 micrograms/kg i.v.), nitroglycerin (NTG, 25 micrograms/kg i.v.), and a 20-s coronary artery occlusion (reactive hyperemia, RH) were investigated in seven conscious dogs with severe left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and chronic coronary pressure overload (CCPO) due to supravalvular aortic banding and in seven control dogs. All dogs were instrumented for measurement of ultrasonic coronary diameter (CD) and Doppler coronary blood flow (CBF). LV-to-body weight ratio was increased by 82% in CCPO dogs. In control dogs, ACh increased CD (+ 5.9 +/- 1.7%). This response was reduced (P < 0.05) in CCPO dogs (+ 1.9 +/- 0.9%). Similarly, flow-mediated increases in CD after RH were blunted (P < 0.01) in CCPO (+ 2.1 +/- 0.8) vs. control dogs (+ 6.8 +/- 1.8%). In contrast, ACh and RH increased CBF similarly in both groups. Increases in both CD and CBF to NTG were not different between control dogs and CCPO. Peak systolic CBF velocity was greater, P < 0.01, in CCPO (94 +/- 17 cm/s) compared with control (35 +/- 7 cm/s) dogs, most likely secondary to the increased systolic coronary perfusion pressure (215 vs. 130 mmHg). Histological analyses of large coronary arteries in CCPO revealed medial thickening, intimal thickening, and disruption of the internal elastic lamina and endothelium. In contrast, small intramyocardial arterioles failed to show the intimal and endothelial lesions. Thus, in CCPO selective to the coronary arteries, i.e., a model independent from systemic hypertension and enhanced levels of plasma renin activity, endothelial control was impaired for both flow-mediated and receptor-mediated large coronary artery function, which could be accounted for by the major morphological changes in the large coronary arteries sparing the resistance vessels. The mechanism may involve chronically elevated systolic coronary perfusion pressure, CBF velocity, and potential disruption of laminar flow patterns. |
