In open chest dogs the first major branch of the left circumflex artery was cannulated and inflow patterns were studied following abrupt changes in coronary perfusion pressure. Pressure in surrounding vessels was controlled by regulating independently pressure in the connion left coronary artery, thus controlling intercoronary collateral flow into and from the muscle supplied by the branch artery. Coronary flow responses were little affected by sizeable pressure gradients (80 mm Hg) between major arteries. Autoregulation of flow, defined by a return of flow toward control value was observed in all experiments though in 60% of the experiments steady state coronary vascular-resistance decreased as perfusion pressure was raised. Sudden increases in aortic pressure did not result in immediate flow increases greater than those increases produced by comparable increases in perfusion pressure alone. Autoregulation of coronary flow is not exaggerated or minimized significantly by intercoronary collateral flow in a normal heart. Reflex alterations in coronary vascular resistance after changes in aortic pressure were not present. Since vascular resistance values do not necessarily reflect the presence or absence of autoregulation, it is necessary to examine the entire flow pattern following sudden changes in perfusion pressure in order to demonstrate the important determinants of coronary blood flow.
