  • Title: Coronary collaterals: role in restoration of blood flow and preservation of cardiac function during exercise.
    Author: Cohen MV, Yipintsoi T.
    Journal: Basic Res Cardiol; 1981; 76(5):474-9. PubMed ID: 7305818.
    Abstract:
    Chronically instrumented dogs were studied at rest and during exercise on two occasions 10--12 weeks apart. The left circumflex coronary artery (LCf) was initially constricted in all dogs. By the time of the second study the LCf was still patent in 9 dogs and had become occluded in 6. In the dogs with chronic coronary occlusion, collaterals restored myocardial flow to normal both at rest and during exercise, and there were no adverse hemodynamic effects when running. Conversely, in dogs with constricted but patent LCfs collateral development was inadequate to return ischemic flows to normal following transient coronary occlusion, and occlusion during exercise produced significant myocardial failure. Thus coronary collaterals can compensate for decreased antegrade coronary flow.
