    Abstract: The effect of myocardial ischemia, induced by long-term exercise, on regional myocardial function and coronary collateral development was examined in pigs after gradual occlusion of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) with an ameroid occluder. Thirty days after surgery, regional myocardial function and blood flow were assessed during exercise in 22 pigs separated into exercise (n = 12) and sedentary groups (n = 10). The exercise group trained on a treadmill for 25 +/- 1 days, 30-50 min/day, at heart rates of 210-220 beats/min. After 5 weeks, another exercise test was performed. In the exercise group, after training, we observed an improvement in systolic wall thickening, expressed as a percentage of rest, in the collateral-dependent LCx region from 64 +/- 8% to 87 +/- 6% (p less than 0.01) at moderate exercise levels (220 beats/min) and from 45 +/- 7% to 73 +/- 7% (p less than 0.01) at severe exercise levels (265 beats/min). Transmural myocardial blood flow in the LCx region expressed as a ratio of flow in the nonoccluded region of the left ventricle also increased significantly (p less than 0.01) during severe exercise after 5 weeks. The sedentary group showed an improvement in systolic wall thickening in the LCx region during moderate exercise compared with the initial exercise test (p less than 0.05) but no significant change in systolic wall thickening or myocardial blood flow ratios during severe exercise after 5 weeks. We conclude that long-term exercise after gradual LCx coronary artery occlusion in pigs improves myocardial function and coronary collateral reserve in collateral-dependent myocardium during exercise.

    Abstract: Coronary collateral development was examined in 34 pigs after gradual occlusion of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) with an Ameroid constrictor. Collateral development was assessed by measurements of myocardial blood flow and regional myocardial function at rest and during exercise over a 16-wk period after placement of the constrictor. Coronary collateral development was adequate to prevent severe infarction and restore blood flow to the collateral-dependent LCX region within 3-7 wk. Infarction averaged 5.0 +/- 1.3% of the LCX region. Blood flows at rest were 1.05 +/- 0.14 and 1.13 +/- 0.15 ml.min-1.g-1 in the subendocardium of the collateral and control regions, respectively, 7 wk postoperatively. Concurrently, collateral vessel development supported normal myocardial function at rest as determined by systolic wall thickening in the LCX region. However, collateral development was limited, since blood flows during moderate and severe exercise were reduced in the LCX region compared with control and left anterior descending and right coronary regions. Blood flow ratios (collateral/control flow) during severe exercise 3 wk postoperatively were 0.23 +/- 0.03 and 0.57 +/- 0.05 in the subendocardium and subepicardium and were constant throughout the 16-wk period throughout the study. Myocardial function of the collateral region also was reduced during exercise and a 30-min recovery period. We suggest that this limited coronary collateral circulation, which develops in response to gradual coronary occlusion in swine, serves as a model for the human collateral circulation for the study of protocols to alter growth and development of coronary collateral vessels.

    Abstract: A respiratory mask was developed for resting and exercising swine. The lightweight, low-dead-space design fits airtight against the animals' snouts to provide breath-by-breath measurements of respiration and metabolism. Validation of the mask was carried out using the Fick principle with dye-dilution cardiac outputs and arterial and mixed venous O2 content measurements. Linear regression analysis of O2 consumption (VO2) measurements by the two techniques revealed a slope of 1.07 and a Y-intercept of -1.06 ml X kg-1 X min-1. The standard error of the estimate of VO2 was 3.5 ml X kg-1 X min-1. The mask design permits rapid measurements of ventilation and metabolism in response to acute and chronic exercise.

    Abstract: Coronary collateral blood flow was measured in 7 miniature pigs, exercise trained (ET) for 10 mo by running about 35 km/wk, and in 10 sedentary control pigs (SC). In acute, open-chest preparations, radiolabeled (85SR, 141CE, or 51Cr) microspheres, 15 +/- 5 micron in diameter, were injected into the left atrium during each of three conditions: control (C), total occlusion of the left circumflex artery (TO), and TO plus mechanically elevated aortic pressure (TOP). Blood flow to the circumflex bed during control condition in ET and SC was 0.36 +/- 0.07 (SE) and 0.43 +/- 0.10 ml.g-1.min-1, respectively. During TO, circumflex flow in ET and SC fell to 0.05 +/- 0.01 and 0.06 +/- 0.01 ml.g-1.min-1, respectively. In the presence of TOP, left circumflex flow in ET and SC rose to 0.11 +/- 0.04 and 0.11 +/- 0.02 ml.g-1.min-1, respectively. Blood flow to the tissue bed of the left anterior descendens was the same in both groups of pigs under all conditions. Thus, 10 mo of endurance exercise training seems to have no effect on the development of coronary collaterals in the left ventricles of pig hearts.

    Abstract: We investigated coronary vascular adaptations occurring in right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH). Six pigs had RVH induced by pulmonary artery stenosis for 5 wk. Three pigs served as controls. At autopsy we made silicone elastomer casts of the right coronary arteries (RCA) and collected morphometric data. We organized the segments and their diameters and lengths into a framework of a modified Strahler's ordering scheme in which the order number of an offspring is increased only if its diameter is greater than the diameters of its parents by a specific amount. The segments of the same order arranged in series are combined into elements. In RVH the total number of orders of vessels was larger than the control by 1; the total number of elements in each order increased greatly, whereas the diameters and lengths of each order decreased somewhat. The total RCA resistance decreased in RVH mainly because the total cross-sectional area (CSA) of every order was increased. Because the diameters of the resistance vessels decreased, this decrease in total RCA resistance was due to a numerical increase in resistance vessels. These findings indicate that new flow channels have been established. In contrast, the RCA was remodeled in that the lumen diameter increased. Pressure-flow curves showed a decrease of coronary resistance in RVH, in agreement with the morphometric findings. We conclude that there is significant remodeling of the coronary arterial vasculature in RVH, and any future analysis of coronary hemodynamics of the right ventricle in hypertrophy must take the morphometric remodeling into account.

    Abstract: We have quantified the development of the coronary collateral circulation in the pig. The collateral circulation was induced to grow by placing an ameroid occluder on the left circumflex coronary artery. Two to 16 weeks after ameroid placement, the coronary collateral circulation was identified after the injection of several colors of a silicone polymer into the coronary arteries and the aorta. We identified intercoronary and extracardiac collaterals and quantified their number, location, size, and wall thickness. Intercoronary collaterals grew to a level that represents a 14-fold increase in normal collateral blood flow under resting conditions compared with the values in an animal not subjected to coronary artery occlusion. Extracardiac collaterals could potentially supply approximately 30% of resting flow. The sources of the extracardiac collaterals were the bronchial and internal mammary arteries. Coronary collateral morphometry and DNA synthesis in the pig heart also were examined. Coronary collaterals had significantly less smooth muscle than did normal arterioles. This may account, in part, for the reduced response of the coronary collaterals to vasodilators. We observed intense DNA synthesis in endothelial and smooth muscle cells in the first 2 or 3 weeks of ischemia. However, DNA synthesis rapidly ceased after this time, coincident with coronary collateral reserve values (ischemic/nonischemic regional blood flow ratios during maximal vasodilation) reaching their maximum level. This suggests that failure of the vessels to continue proliferating accounts for the occurrence of the plateau in blood flow levels.

    Abstract: To study the effects of exercise on collateral development in myocardial ischemia, we induced coronary arterial stenosis of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCCA) in 18 of 30 pigs. During that surgery, we identified the coronary bed at risk. Nine of these pigs were then subjected to 5 mo of exercise training on a treadmill. After exercise training, we determined regional collateral and myocardial blood flow using radiolabeled microspheres. At autopsy, all animals had complete occlusion of the LCCA. Infarct size in the exercise-trained pigs was significantly less than in the sedentary pigs (5.9 +/- 1.0 vs. 11.7 +/- 1.0% of the left ventricle). The exercise-trained animals had a greater increase in collateral flow, 35.1 +/- 3.0 vs. 28.7 +/- 4.1 ml X min-1 X 100 g-1, in the noninfarcted jeopardized zone of the LCCA bed. The major findings of the study were the following: 1) chronic coronary artery stenosis progressing to occlusion stimulated development of the collateral circulation and salvaged tissue in the jeopardized myocardium of an animal model with sparse collaterals; 2) development of the collateral circulation and tissue salvage is increased by exercise training; 3) collaterals develop primarily in or near the ischemic zone; and 4) all collateral beds develop a circumferential flow gradient following occlusion.
