摘要: BACKGROUNDThe vascular endothelium is capable of regulating tissue perfusion by the release endothelium-derived relaxing factor to modulate vasomotor tone resistance vasculature.METHODS AND RESULTSTo test whether atherosclerosis associated with a functional abnormality endothelium-mediated microvascular relaxation affecting coronary blood flow regulation, we compared responses cold pressor testing response vasculature acetylcholine (an endothelium-dependent vasodilator) and papaverin (a direct dilator smooth muscle) in 12 normal control patients 19 non-flow-limiting epicardial (CAD). The drugs were subselectively infused into left anterior descending artery via Doppler catheter, was assessed measuring intracoronary velocity cross-sectional arterial area (quantitative angiography). Coronary decre...
