PROGRAMMABLE PRESSURE SOURCE FOR CORONARY FLOW STUDIES.

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This study utilized a perfusion circuit consisting of a constant pressure reservoir of oxygenated blood and a spool-type servovalve under feed-back control. This permits control of coronary perfusion pressure in an open-chested dog independent of systemic arterial pressure. The perfusion circuit and proportional control system are described. The servovalve perfusion system provides a flexible tool for studying the distribution of coronary flow under a variety of conditions. Initial investigations have been focused on determination of transmural flow distribution during systole and diastole when the coronary bed has been fully vasodilated to eliminate autoregulatory effects.
