Alterations in total and regional myocardial blood flow during acute rejection of orthotopic canine cardiac allografts. 1978

N W Salomon, and E B Stinson, and R B Griepp, and N E Shumway

Using radioactive microspheres, we studied the quantitative and sequential distribution of myocardial blood flow during acute rejection of cardiac orthotopic allografts in 15 nonimmunosuppressed dogs. During rejection mean cardiac output per kilogram decreased 49 percent from control, stroke volume per kilogram decreased 40 percent, total left ventricular flow decreased 43 percent, and the subendocardial/subepicardial flow ratio (I/O) of the left ventricular free wall decreased 21 percent. Relative subendocardial hypoperfusion occurred despite an increase in the ratio of left ventricle subendocardial supply (diastolic pressure-time index) to demand (tension-time index). The data indicate that total left ventricular flow decreases severely and selective left ventricular subendocardial ischemia develops very early during acute cardiac rejection.

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. Muscle, Cardiac,Muscle, Heart,Cardiac Muscle,Myocardia,Cardiac Muscles,Heart Muscle,Heart Muscles,Muscles, Cardiac,Muscles, Heart
D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
