Popis: Coronary collaterals preserve left ventricular (LV) function during coronary occlusion by reducing myocardial ischemia and may directly influence LV compliance. We aimed to re-evaluate the relationship between coronary collaterals, measured quantitatively with a pressure wire, and simultaneously recorded LV contractility from conductance catheter data during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in humans. Twenty-five patients with normal LV function awaiting PCI were recruited. Pressure-derived collateral flow index (CFI p): CFI p = (P w − P v)/(P a − P v) was calculated from pressure distal to coronary balloon occlusion (P w), central venous pressure (P v), and aortic pressure (P a). CFI p was compared with the changes in simultaneously recorded LV end-diastolic pressure (ΔLVEDP), end-diastolic volume, maximum rate of rise in pressure (ΔLVdP/dtmax; systolic function), and time constant of isovolumic relaxation (ΔLV τ; diastolic function), measured by a LV cavity conductance catheter. Measurements were recorded at baseline and following a 1-min coronary occlusion and were duplicated after a 30-min recovery period. There was significant LV diastolic dysfunction following coronary occlusion (ΔLVEDP: +24.5%, P < 0.0001; and ΔLV τ: +20.0%, P < 0.0001), which inversely correlated with CFI p (ΔLVEDP vs. CFI p: r = −0.54, P < 0.0001; ΔLV τ vs. CFI p: r = −0.46, P = 0.0009). Subjects with fewer collaterals had lower LVEDP at baseline (r = 0.33, P = 0.02). CFI p was inversely related to the coronary stenosis pressure gradient at rest (r = −0.31, P = 0.03). Collaterals exert a direct hemodynamic effect on the ventricle and attenuate ischemic LV diastolic dysfunction during coronary occlusion. Vessels with lesions of greater hemodynamic significance have better collateral supply.
