Effect of regional myocardial ischaemia on left ventricular isovolumic contraction. 1977

A V Goodyer, and B Y Wong, and R Langou

In anaesthetised, open-chest dogs, global isovolumic contractility indices were reduced by acute regional ischaemia involving 12 to 14% or more of left ventricular mass. These effects were not altered by controlled reduction of blood flow to the non-ischaemic region, but were exaggerated by isoprenaline during normal perfusion of the non-ischaemic region. The results were consistent with a contraction model characterised by simple reduction of the effective length of the contractile elements.

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.
