The goal of the present study was to evaluate the effects of endothelin, a newly discovered very potent vasoconstrictor secreted by endothelial cells, on the coronary vascular bed. For this purpose, the effects of endothelin injected intracoronarily were tested in open-chest anesthetized dogs with the circumflex coronary artery cannulated and perfused at a constant pressure of 100 mm Hg. Circumflex blood flow, transmural distribution of coronary blood flow (radioactive microspheres), circumflex coronary artery diameter (piezoelectric crystals), and circumflex luminal surface area were measured. Endothelin decreased coronary blood flow by 30% and 61% with doses of 1 and 3 .mu.g, respectively. A dose of 10 .mu.g was lethal. The decrease of coronary blood flow was larger in the subepicardium than in the subendocardium, which explains that the endocardial-epicardial blood flow ratio increased from 1.27.+-.0.05 to 1.98.+-.0.23 (p
