    Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) infusion effectively dilates coronary arteries in dogs with minimal side effects. This method shows promise for diagnosing coronary artery stenosis by assessing myocardial blood flow redistribution.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Coronary vasodilation is crucial for assessing myocardial blood flow.
    • Identifying safe and effective vasodilators is essential for diagnostic procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and side effects of various coronary vasodilator methods in dogs.
    • To evaluate the potential of selective intracoronary adenosine triphosphate infusion for diagnosing coronary stenosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Dogs were infused with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or papaverine, or given bolus injections.
    • Diatrizoate injections were also administered for comparison.
    • Coronary conductance and electrocardiographic/systemic effects were measured.

    Main Results:

    • ATP infusion at ~600 microng/minute achieved maximal vasodilation (7-8x control) with minimal side effects.
    • Bolus injections of ATP or papaverine increased conductance 3-4x, similar to brief coronary occlusion.
    • ATP and papaverine mixtures showed additive effects (5-6x control conductance).

    Conclusions:

    • Selective intracoronary ATP infusion is a promising method for achieving maximal coronary vasodilation.
    • This technique may aid in diagnosing hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis by evaluating blood flow redistribution.
