PET measurement of the coronary flow reserve and microcirculatory function

open access: yes, 1999
This review article discusses some of the potentially beneficial effects of calcium antagonists on the coronary microcirculation. These include their vasodilating action on coronary resistance vessels as well as their effects on extravascular resistance (

Endothelial function and coronary microcirculation in essential hypertension

open access: yes, 1998
Hypertension is one of the conditions in which the clinical syndrome of 'coronary insufficiency with normal coronary angiogram' is most frequently encountered. An alteration in the endothelium-dependent vasomotility of coronary circulation as a result of

Evidence for involvement of the PKC-alpha isoform in myogenic contractions of the coronary microcirculation.

open access: yes, 2000
The role of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in myogenic tone of the ferret coronary microcirculation was investigated by measuring fura 2 Ca(2+) signals, PKC immunoblots, contractile responses, and confocal microscopy of PKC translocation.

Regulation of the Human Coronary Microcirculation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2012
Atherosclerosis of conduit epicardial arteries is the principal culprit behind the complications of coronary heart disease, but a growing body of literature indicates that the coronary microcirculation also contributes substantially to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease.

Invasive Assessment of the Coronary Microcirculation.

open access: yesJACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2016
Despite successful restoration of epicardial coronary artery flow after treating ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a range of microvascular damage occurs, which correlates with both short- and long term outcomes.

Adaptation of the Coronary Microcirculation in Aging

Microcirculation, 2016
AbstractAdvancing age will affect every individual and its impact on health deserves significant attention particularly as we address therapeutic possibilities to pathological conditions. The changes that occur in the coronary vasculature as a result of aging‐related senescence set the stage upon which CVD and ischemia can escalate.

Functional characteristics of the coronary microcirculation

Herz, 1999
For over 50 years, it has been recognized that coronary blood flow is precisely matched to cardiac metabolism. The interactions which govern this matching remain unknown. In the current review, 3 specific aspects of coronary flow regulation will be discussed: Specialization of function in different microvascular domains, influence of cardiac region on ...

Coronary microcirculation in the beating heart

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2008
The phase opposition of velocity waveforms between coronary arteries (predominantly diastolic) and veins (systolic) is the most prominent characteristic of coronary hemodynamics. This unique arterial and venous flow patterns indicate the importance of intramyocardial capacitance vessels and variable resistance vessels during a cardiac cycle.
