Abstract
Left ventricular hypertrophy was induced by banding of the ascending aorta in pupies at the age of 6 weeks. At the age of one year left ventricular weight per body weight was increased by 87% compared to control litter mates. While myocardial perfusion and myocardial oxygen consumption per 100 g were identical in the hypertrophy and control group, there was a significantly diminshed ratio of subendocardial/subepicardial flow in the hypertrophy group during moderate exercise. With maximal coronary dilation subendocardial diastolic resistance (mm Hg/ml-min-1 per 100 g) was 0.16 +/- 0.03 in the control group and 0.26 +/- 0.03 in the hypertrophy group. This diminished coronary reserve indicates an insufficient growth of the vascular bed in these hypertrophied hearts.Entities:
