We investigated the influence of stretch on regional hemodynamic parameters of the septal circulation. We used a similar experimental setup and mathematical model, as described previously (14). Five ventricular septa were isolated from anesthetized dogs, sutured to a biaxial stretching apparatus, and perfused with an oxygenated perfluorochemical emulsion at maximal vasodilation. Under unloaded and biaxially stretched conditions, flow and septal thickness (to index vascular volume) were measured…

Cross-talk between cardiac muscle and coronary vasculature.
The cardiac muscle and the coronary vasculature are in close proximity to each other, and a two-way interaction, called cross-talk, exists. Here we focus on the mechanical aspects of cross-talk…
Isolated Heart Preparations, Problems, and Pitfalls
TLDR
Historically research conducted on isolated hearts led to the discovery of chemical transmission of vagal stimulation, and the importance of preload and afterload to cardiac function, and other important advances include significant understanding of ischemia-reperfusion injury, cell-based therapy, and heart preservation.

Dynamics of flow, resistance, and intramural vascular volume in canine coronary circulation.
TLDR
It is concluded that volume dependence of resistances have to be taken into account when dynamic or static pressure-flow relations are studied and conceal the effect of a large intramyocardial compliance on arterial hemodynamics.
Effect of wall stretch on coronary hemodynamics in isolated canine interventricular septum.
TLDR
There is a complex and tight mechanical interaction between the vessels and the surrounding tissue and these interactions, but not the tissue stiffness, are important determinants of coronary pressure-flow responses during stretch.
Pressure and tone dependence of coronary diastolic input impedance and capacitance.
TLDR
Results indicate that an RC parallel model with pressure- and vasomotor tone-dependent capacitance adequately describes diastolic coronary input impedance at frequencies encountered during ordinary diastoles.
Preload-induced alterations in capacitance-free diastolic pressure-flow relationship.
TLDR
Coronary conductance, taken as the slope of the pressure-flow relationship at any given PLC, fell progressively as preload rose, with the fall being more marked at higher levels of preload and lower values of PLC.
Coronary artery resistance changes depend on how surrounding myocardial tissue is stretched.
TLDR
A finite-element model simulating an epicardial vessel under experimental conditions qualitatively predicted the results and demonstrated the combined roles of size and shape changes.
Compressibility of perfused passive myocardium.
TLDR
The finding that perfused myocardium is compressible implies that results from existing analyses of the heart assuming incompressibility are not realistic, and analyses must account for compressibility with, e.g., mixture theory or other similar approaches.
Quantification of O2 consumption and arterial pressure as independent determinants of coronary flow.
TLDR
This study characterizes the stationary behavior of local coronary flow control and specifies quantitatively the relations to be predicted by hypotheses aiming to explain this control mechanism.
Dynamic response of coronary regulation to heart rate and perfusion changes in dogs.
TLDR
The rate of change of coronary adjustment in the anesthetized dog to a step change in heart rate (HR) and in perfusion was analyzed and the directional sensitivity in responses with perfusion changes, observed earlier in goats, is normally absent in dogs.
Coronary pressure-flow relation in left ventricular hypertrophy. Importance of changes in back pressure versus changes in minimum resistance.
Perfusion abnormalities in the pressure-overloaded hypertrophied left ventricle could result from an increase in minimum coronary resistance or an increase in effective back pressure due to increased…
Effect of exercise on coronary pressure-flow relationship in hypertrophied left ventricle.
TLDR
The results suggest that exaggerated increases in filling pressure during exercise in the hypertrophied left ventricles contributed to impairment of myocardial perfusion during exercise by augmenting the back pressure, which opposes coronary flow.
