T oa great extent, our knowledge of the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia is based on complete coronary arterial occlusion, with almost total cessation of myocardial blood flow. The resulting sequence of events has been studied in detail, from hemodynamic, metabolic, structural, and therapeutic standpoints. Investigations of the evolution of the process to myocardial necrosis or to recovery after relief of the total occlusion have been essential in guiding new approaches to the management of coronary thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction. However, the severity of that insult does not allow evaluation of some important regulatory processes in the heart that are of interest, especially when chronic coronary stenosis and the" hibernating myocardium" are considered. This review outlines the relations among myocardial blood flow, mechanical function, and high-energy phosphate metabolism with mild-to-moderate reductions in coronary blood flow. Insights have been gained into the ways in which the heart responds to the challenge of decreased arterial perfusion, and some surprises have been encountered. Observations during ischemia include incomplete dilation of coro-nary resistance vessels, contractile reserve, and metabolic adjustments. A more complete understanding of these phenomena may ultimately help to explain the apparent downregulation of myocardial function during ischemia. The conclusion can be reached that the heart's response to moderately severe ischemia is controlled and purposeful, contributing to survival of the myocardium.
