The effect of cardiac contraction on coronary arterial flow has been described in terms of an intramyocardial pump, which displaces blood backward and forward during systole and diastole, respectively. Normally, the mean forward flow exceeds, and consequently conceals, this backflow. The main left coronary artery of 6 anesthetized open-chest dogs was perfused with a Gregg cannula from a constant pressure source via a perfusion line containing an adjustable stenosis. At mean left main arterial pressures, .hivin.Plc of 65, 90, 125 and 155 mm Hg, the hearts were perfused via different grades of stenosis, while a constant mean perfusion pressure (.hivin.Plc) distal to the stenosis was maintained. Mean coronary flow was then independent of stenosis grade. With increasing stenosis grade, the systolic-diastolic coronary flow difference decreased, while the diastolic-systolic coronary pressure difference increased. By varying the stenosis grade at constant .hivin.Plc, linear relationships between diastolic-systolic pressure difference and flow difference were obtained and were interpreted as being a result of an electrical analog potential-source equivalent. From the potential-source equivalent, the diastolic-systolic pressure changes of the intramyocardial pump, pim, can be determined as well as the coronary resistance, Ra, impeding the flow variations originated by pim. pim was 53.1 .+-. 7.02 (SD) mm Hg, and was independent of .hivin.Plc. Ra was correlated with the resistance to coronary flow, Rc, via Ra = 0.63 .times. Rc - 12.9 mm Hg .cntdot. s/ml (r = 0.939, n = 25). Rc was defined as (.hivin.Plc - 14 mm Hg)/mean coronary flow. The waterfall model extended to allow for autoregulation to achieve an equal division of mean flow over the myocardium could not explain these results. From a decay curve of coronary arterial pressure following clamping of the perfusion line, intramyocardial coronary capacitance was estimated to be approximately 0.07 ml/mm Hg per 100 g LV [left ventricle]. This value is in agreement with published volume pressure relationships of the intramyocardial blood compartment. The phasic coronary blood flow component requires intramyocardial arterial volume. Systolic-diastolic variations in coronary blood flow are not due to varying resistances but are caused by an active intramyocardial pump.
