Systolic‐dominant coronary flow in rats and mice: Challenging the diastolic paradigm across conscious and anaesthetized states

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 684-699, 1 March 2026.
Abstract Extensive research in humans, dogs, rabbits, rats, mice and other mammals has consistently demonstrated that coronary blood flow (CBF) peaks during ventricular diastole. For example, studies using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in anaesthetized rats and mice, isolated blood‐perfused rat hearts and Doppler probes sutured to the ...
