Maximum coronary blood flow and minimum coronary resistance in exercise-trained dogs

I. Y. Liang, M. Hamra and H. L. Stone

Exercise training has been found to increase coronary vascularity of the heart in experimental animals. Maximum coronary flow and minimum coronary resistance were determined in 16 dogs with the injection of microspheres (15 micron) into the left atrium at rest and during the intravenous infusion of adenosine (0.7 mg X min-1 X kg-1). Heart rate was paced at 150 beats/min. Dogs were divided into three groups with microsphere injections made before and after 4-5 wk of daily exercise (group 1); before and after 8-10 wk of daily exercise (group II); and before and after 8-10 wk of cage rest (group III). Results of average left ventricular maximum myocardial flow before and after daily exercise were 4.08 +/- 0.34 and 4.89 +/- 0.33 ml X min-1 X g-1 for group I, 5.13 +/- 0.32 and 5.55 +/- 0.56 ml X min-1 X g-1 for group II, and 5.24 +/- 0.43 and 4.34 +/- 0.55 ml X min-1 X g-1 for group III. Arterial pressure, maximum coronary flow, and minimum coronary resistance were not significantly different before and after any condition in all three groups of dogs. Peak reactive hyperemia coronary flow was not altered by daily exercise. These results indicate that maximum coronary flow and minimum coronary resistance were not altered by either 4-5 or 8-10 wk of exercise training.
