The effects of beta-adrenergic blockade upon myocardial blood flow and oxygen balance during exercise were evaluated in eight conscious dogs, instrumented for chronic measurements of coronary blood flow, left ventricular pressure, aortic blood pressure, heart rate, and sampling of arterial and coronary sinus venous blood. The administration of propranolol (1.5 mg/kg iv) produced a decrease in heart rate, peak left ventricular (LV) dP/dt, LV (dP/dt/P, and an increase in LV end-diastolic pressure during exercise. Mean coronary blood flow and myocardial oxygen consumption were lower after propranolol than at the same exercise intensity in control conditions. The oxygen delivery-to-oxygen consumption ratio and the coronary sinus oxygen content were also significantly lower. It is concluded that the relationship between myocardial oxygen supply and demand is modified during exercise after propranolol, so that a given level of myocardial oxygen consumption is achieved with a proportionally lower myocardial blood flow and a higher oxygen extraction.
