In a canine model of acute coronary occlusion, collateral blood flow measured by Krypton-85 washout was inversely related to the mass of the ischemic myocardium.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Results from this canine model require human confirmation before clinical consideration; leaves open the impact of ischemic region size on collateral perfusion.
Johansson et al. (1965) studied this question.
