Abstract

Myocardial blood flow and oxygen consumption are heterogeneously distributed. Perfusion and myocardial oxygen consumption are closely correlated in the normal heart. It is unknown how this metabolism-perfusion relation is influenced by sympathetic denervation. We investigated this question in seven chloralose-anaesthetized dogs, 3-4 weeks after regional sympathetic denervation of the left circumflex coronary artery area of supply of the left ventricle. Measurements were made of local myocardial blood flow (MBF, in ml min
