Q

Dysfunction = Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

  • Physical factors
    • Aortic bp
    • Systole = Contraction/Pushing
      • Coronary arteries compress
    • Diastole = Relaxation/Filling
      • Perfusion of the heart
  • Neural factors
    • SANS
      • ⇡ Flow
    • PANS
      • Flow
    • Changes in HR, contractility, & bp
  • Myocardial metabolic factors
    • Driven by O2 demands
    • Protective factors
      • Adenosine
        • Vasodilation → ⇡ Blood flow
