Summary

The effects of simulated high altitudes on phasic coronary artery flow, central aortic pressure and flow, and myocardial metabolism were studied in unmedicated greyhound dogs 1-2 weeks after implantation of sensing devices. The adaptation of coronary flow to hypoxia was medicated through an increase in heart rate, coronary vasodilation, and increase in mean pressure. Coronary sinus pO2 was found to correlate highly with arterial pO2. The linear relationship of coronary flow to oxygen usage persisted during hypoxia. Mayer waves with rhythmic fluctuations in coronary flow were encountered. (Author).
