Animal data suggest anemia—not hypertension—drives higher myocardial O2 demand; leaves open human relevance and requires prospective validation.
How does renal hypertension, with or without anemia, affect coronary blood flow and cardiac oxygen consumption in dogs?
In a canine model, renal hypertension with cardiac hypertrophy does not alter weight-adjusted coronary blood flow or oxygen consumption unless complicated by anemia.
West et al. (1959) studied this question.
