Enhanced cAMP-induced nitric oxide-dependent coronary dilation during myocardial stunning in conscious pigs

The goal of the current study was to determine the effects of cAMP-mediated coronary reactivity in conscious pigs with stunned myocardium induced by 1.5 h coronary stenosis (CS) and 12 h coronary artery reperfusion (CAR). Domestic swine (n = 5) were chronically instrumented with a coronary artery bl...

Description
Summary:The goal of the current study was to determine the effects of cAMP-mediated coronary reactivity in conscious pigs with stunned myocardium induced by 1.5 h coronary stenosis (CS) and 12 h coronary artery reperfusion (CAR). Domestic swine (n = 5) were chronically instrumented with a coronary artery blood flow (CBF) probe, hydraulic occluder, left ventricular pressure gauge, wall-thickening crystals in the ischemic and nonischemic zones, and a coronary sinus catheter.
