摘要
Background Experimental studies have demonstrated that during stress-induced myocardial ischemia, coronary obstruction and diastolic perfusion time are factors that limit subendocardial perfusion and correlate to degree of myocardial dysfunction. The relation between these two factors has not yet been investigated in humans. The aim of the present study was to assess the relation between diastolic perfusion time and degree of coronary stenosis during different types of stress tests. Methods and Results Nine patients with isolated and proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery were selected. Patients underwent three different randomized stress tests (upright, supine bicycle stress test, and transesophageal atrial pacing). Diastolic perfusion time, heart rate (RR interval), and systolic and diastolic pressures were measured during the test and at the ischemic threshold (0.1-mV ST-segment depression). Angiographic measurements of coronary stenosis were evaluated by quantitative coronary angiography. At the ischemic threshold, significant differences among tests were found in heart rate (P<.05), systolic pressure (P<.001), and diastolic pressure (P<.05). In each stress test, diastolic perfusion time at the ischemic threshold was closely correlated with minimal stenosis diameter (r=.97; P<.001) and percent diameter stenosis (r=.92; P<.001) with no difference among the tests. In contrast, heart rate, rate-pressure product, and time to ischemic threshold were not significantly correlated with percent diameter stenosis and minimal stenosis diameter. No significant correlation was observed at the ischemic threshold between diastolic perfusion time and corresponding values of heart rate, despite the close correlation at rest (r=.95; P<.001). Conclusions Despite differences in associated hemodynamic responses to various stress tests, a close relation exists between stenosis severity and diastolic perfusion time at the onset of stress-induced myocardial ischemia. Therefore, diastolic perfusion time at the ischemic threshold may be an indirect estimate of the hemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis.
