Abstract

In order to evaluate the relationship between regional myocardial perfusion and segmental dyskinesis, 22 open chest dogs were studied using ultrasound to register cardiac wall motion and radioactive labeled microspheres to determine myocardial perfusion. In six dogs, motion and perfusion were correlated at two levels of partial circumflex coronary artery occlusion followed by complete occlusion. A good correlation between declining myocardial perfusion of all the ischemic segments and development of aneurysmal bulging (during isometric contraction) was seen: r = minus 0.80. A similar correlation between myocardial perfusion and endocardial wall velocity (during systolic ejection) was observed: r = 0.92. In nine dogs, the effect of 45 minutes of complete coronary occlusion followed by 30 minutes of reperfusion was evaluated with respect to perfusion and motion. After coronary reperfusion myocardial perfusion of the ischemic area returned to control levels (from 32.6 +/- 3.5 to 130.3 +/- 13.3 ml/100 g/min), but aneurysmal bulging during isometric contraction persisted. Endocardial wall velocity during systolic ejection showed a variable response to reperfusion, achieving values ranging from 32% to 162% of the preocclusion levels....Continue Reading
