Why the study?
Does decreased aortic compliance aggravate subendocardial ischaemia in dogs with a stenosed coronary artery?
Population
10 anaesthetised open chest dogs with a fixed stenosis in the left circumflex coronary artery
Comparison
Decreased aortic compliance by banding the… vs Without aortic banding (rest and pacing stages)
Design
Preclinical

Does not support clinical changes in aortic compliance; extends animal models of ischemia but leaves human relevance open.
Does decreased aortic compliance aggravate subendocardial ischaemia in dogs with a stenosed coronary artery?
Decreased aortic compliance aggravates subendocardial ischaemia during increased cardiac work in the presence of coronary artery stenosis in a dog model.
Watanabe et al. (1992) studied this question.
