Population
Normal dogs and dogs with severe right ventricular hypertrophy induced by chronic pulmonary artery stenosis.
Comparison
Strenuous, spontaneous exercise. vs Normal dogs undergoing the same exercise.
Design
Preclinical

RV hypertrophy may limit coronary adaptation to exercise in dogs; hypothesis-generating and leaves open human applicability.
Does severe right ventricular hypertrophy alter the coronary vascular response to strenuous exercise in dogs?
Severe right ventricular hypertrophy in dogs impairs the ability of the coronary circulation to meet the elevated metabolic demands of exercise, suggesting a perfusion deficit.
Murray et al. (1981) studied this question.
