Coronary blood flow is influenced by contraction of the myocardium. The contribution of extravascular forces to coronary resistance during and after a period of low pressure perfusion or hypoxia and after a period of global ischaemia was studied in experiments on rabbit hearts perfused by the Langendorff method. End diastolic flow, perfusion pressure, developed tension, and resting tension were measured. Under control conditions the relation between end diastolic flow and perfusion pressure was almost linear (r greater than 0.92). There was an initial fall in coronary resistance on initiation of hypoxia or low pressure perfusion, but subsequently coronary resistance increased concomitantly with the rise in resting tension. After 60 min total global ischaemia and 30 min reperfusion coronary resistance increased by 410(99)% and resting tension by 382(92)%. Increasing the potassium concentration of the perfusate to 19.2 mmol X litre-1 under control conditions caused the coronary resistance to increase by 336(74)%, whereas resting tension was unchanged. The increase in resistance with potassium could be reduced but not abolished by adenosine (1.87 X 10(-5) mol X litre-1), indicating that the effect was largely attributable to vasoconstriction. Increased stimulation frequency (30 Hz) raised coronary resistance by 37(10)% and resting tension by 303(53)%. Perfusion with carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (1 X 10(-6) mol X litre-1) increased coronary resistance by 169(27)% and resting tension by 782(11)6% and relaxed isolated epicardial coronary arteries. The effects of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone and increased stimulation frequency on coronary resistance were due to myocardial contracture.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effect of increased vascular afterload measures on flow rate and survival in severe aortic stenosis.

Aims: Although an association between the systemic circulation and transaortic flow rate (TFR) is frequently hypothesized in patients with aortic stenosis (AS), it has not been demonstrated previously. We sought to explore the relationship between blood pressure (BP), vascular afterload measures, clinical history of hypertension, TFR, and survival in patients with severe AS (aortic valve area ≤ 1 cm²).
Methods And Results: We studied 323 patients ≥ 65 years (110 prospective, 213 registry analysis) who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement over a 5-year period.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are an existing treatment option for patients with insulin-resistant states, which elicit further pleiotropic effects related to immune cell recruitment and vascular inflammation. GLP-1 agonists downregulate the cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) receptor, one of several receptors for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that mediate viral infection of host cells.
Methods: We conducted an open-label prospective safety and tolerability study including biomarker responses of the GLP-1 agonist Liraglutide, administered for 5 days as an add-on therapy to the standard of care within 48 h of presentation in a cohort of 13 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia.

We sought to evaluate the effects of a 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program on lung function, mechanics, as well as pulmonary and systemic inflammation in a cohort of 33 individuals with moderate to severe post-COVID-19. : The pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program employed a combination of aerobic and resistance exercises. Thirty minutes of treadmill training at 75% of the maximum heart rate, combined with 30 min resistance training consisting of 75% of one maximum repetition, three times a week throughout 12 weeks.

This review emphasises the importance of the cardiovascular response to facial cooling (FC) and breath holding in both sexes. The trigemino-cardiac reflex, triggered by FC, reduces heart rate (HR) and constricts blood vessels. When combined with breath holding, this effect intensifies, enhancing the cardiodepressive impact.

Aims: The Tpeak-Tend interval on electrocardiogram may be a predictor of worse outcomes in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), but the mechanisms have not been fully determined. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between the corrected Tpeak-Tend (cTp-e) interval and coronary microvascular-dysfunction (CMD) assessed by the angiography-derived index of microvascular resistance (Angio-IMR) and the in-hospital prognosis in patients with TTS.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively evaluated 111 consecutive patients admitted for TTS who underwent coronary angiography at Kindai University Hospital from October 2009 to July 2023.
