[Myocardial perfusion in myocardiopathies: study at rest and during induced tachycardia]. 1978

A Pasternac, and J Noble, and Y Streulens, and J Lespérance, and M G Bourassa

The authors have compared myocardial perfusion, i.e. the coronary blood flow per unit of myocardial mass, in 9 patients with cardiomyopathy and 5 normal subjects, both at rest and during coronary sinus pacing-induced tachycardia at a rate of 150 beats/mn. In the cardiomyopathies, myocardial perfusion was found to be decreased at rest, and to remain abnormally low during induced tachycardia despite the evidence for a significant coronary reserve. During pacing there were, in addition to induced chest pain, indirect signs of sub-endocardial ischaemia which could explain the angina of effort found in certain cardiomyopathies, especially those of the obstructive hypertrophic type.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007511 Ischemia A hypoperfusion of the BLOOD through an organ or tissue caused by a PATHOLOGIC CONSTRICTION or obstruction of its BLOOD VESSELS, or an absence of BLOOD CIRCULATION. Ischemias
D007773 Lactates Salts or esters of LACTIC ACID containing the general formula CH3CHOHCOOR.
D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
