Preload-induced alterations in capacitance-free diastolic pressure-flow relationship.

T Aversano, F J Klocke, R E Mates

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |March 11, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP) significantly impacts coronary blood flow dynamics. Increased preload accentuates curvilinearity in diastolic pressure-flow relationships, reducing coronary conductance and flow.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Coronary Circulation Research

    Background:

    • Understanding diastolic coronary pressure-flow relationships is crucial for diagnosing and treating cardiac conditions.
    • Left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP) is a key determinant of diastolic coronary perfusion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of LVDP on diastolic coronary pressure-flow relationships, independent of capacitive flow effects.
    • To quantify how preload affects coronary conductance and diastolic flow.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an open-chest, heart-blocked canine model with adenosine-vasodilated left circumflex (LC) bed.
    • Employed a programmable servo valve pressure source to control LC pressure ramps.
    • Adjusted and maintained LVDP at preselected levels during controlled diastoles.

    Main Results:

    • Capacitance-free diastolic pressure-flow relationships were curvilinear, with increased curvilinearity at higher preloads.
    • Pressure-axis intercepts (Pf=0) rose significantly with increasing preload (14 to 23 mmHg).
    • Coronary conductance decreased progressively with rising preload, especially at higher preloads and lower LC pressures.

    Conclusions:

    • LVDP significantly modulates diastolic coronary pressure-flow dynamics.
    • Increased preload leads to reduced coronary conductance and diastolic flow, primarily due to elevated pressure-axis intercepts and decreased conductance.
    • Findings highlight the critical role of preload in regulating coronary perfusion during diastole.
