Abstract

OBJECTIVE--To investigate the effects of substance P and papaverine, two drugs that increase coronary blood flow by different mechanisms, on vasomotion in stenotic coronary arteries at percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). DESIGN--Coronary blood flow responses to substance P and papaverine were measured in stenotic coronary arteries at the time of PTCA with quantitative angiography and a Doppler flow probe. SETTING--A cardiothoracic referral centre. PATIENTS--15 patients undergoing elective PTCA of a discrete epicardial coronary artery stenosis. INTERVENTIONS--Pharmacological coronary flow reserve was determined with papaverine 5-10 minutes before and after successful PTCA. Endothelium dependent responses to 2 minute infusions of substance P (10-15 pmol.min-1) were assessed immediately before PTCA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Coronary blood flow responses and changes in epicardial coronary artery area at stenotic, proximal, and distal sites with papaverine and substance P. RESULTS--Stenotic sites dilated with papaverine before PTCA (17.7%(6.9%) (mean (SEM)) area increase, p < 0.05 v baseline). Substance P dilated stenotic sites (16.8%(5.7%) area increase, p < 0.05) and proximal (14.3%(5.4%), p < 0.05) and distal sit...Continue Reading

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
