}The shape of the coronary arterial pressure-flow relationship results from the interaction of a number of poorly understood physiological factors. Experiments in which coronary inflow and outflow pressures were coupled so that driving pressure was held constant showed that changes in inflow or outflow pressures altered coronary blood flow: coronary vascular resistance varied inversely with changes in inflow pressure below 50 mm Hg and with changes in outflow pressure below 80 mm Hg.

Effects of Coronary Collateral Circulation and Outflow Pressure Elevation on Coronary Pressure-Flow Relationships in The Beating and Non-Beating States
- Medicine
- 1993
The presence of interarterial perfusion pressure gradients between the left anterior descending artery and the remaining vessels resulted in an increase in zero flow pressure and a more linear slope of the P-F relationship to the same degree in both the beating and non-beating states, indicating that collateral circulation is not necessarily inhibited by cardiac contraction.

The effects of the pericardium on diastolic left coronary pressure-flow relationships in heart-blocked and isolated canine preparations and their slopes were approximated by a linear regression analysis in which the correlation coefficients were greater than .98 in all cases.

In systole, there is no evidence for typical waterfalls, but more evidence in favor of regional changes in intramyocardial compliance to explain coronary pressure-flow relationships is needed.

Raising pressures inside or outside the heart shifts pressure-flow curves and raises P(zf) by increasing coronary venous pressure, and the effects are most prominent in the subendocardial muscle layer.

It is shown that the marked decrease in crosssectional area caused by a slight decrease in pressure is similar to what has been found for collapsible tubes, if a pressure-dependent nonlinear resistor can act.

A simple, lumped diastolic model with pressure-dependent parameters can predict capacitance-free pressure-flow behavior from dynamic pressure- flow data and characterize model parameters over a wide range of coronary pressure.
Physiological Basis of Clinically Used Coronary Hemodynamic Indices

It is shown that the coronary system is intrinsically nonlinear because resistance vessels at maximal vasodilation change diameter with pressure and cardiac function and that clinical studies of coronary physiology will benefit greatly from combined measurements of coronary flow or velocity and pressure.

An attempt has been made to estimate the compliance distribution within the coronary circulation and to show the specific effect of intramyocardial compliance on arterial and venous pressure-flow relations, and it is predicted that overall intramYocardial Compliance may exceed epicardial arterial compliance by a factor 45.

The data are not compatible with the existence of a vascular waterfall mechanism in the coronary circulation unless it is assumed that Pcv is one of the determinants of Pf = 0, and the level of Pcv below which changes in Pcv had no effect on the coronary pressure-flow relation.
Influence of Autoregulation and Capacitance on Diastolic Coronary Artery Pressure‐Flow Relationships in the Dog

Diastolic coronary artery pressure-flow relations obtained when pressure is continuously changing are influenced by coronary vascular capacitance, which is consistent with a vascular waterfall model of diastolic flow regulation.

It is concluded that coronary capacitive effects and resistance changes during diastole severely limit the interpretation of instantaneous dynamic P/F relationships.

It is concluded that systole inhibits coronary perfusion by the formation of vascular waterfalls and that the intramyocardial pressures responsible for this inhibition do not significantly exceed peak ventricular pressure.
Regulation of Coronary Blood Flow during Individual Diastoles in the Dog

During constant pressure perfusion, diastolic coronary vascular resistance is constant during diastole, and when coronary resistance is actively changing, regulation of coronary blood flow occurs continuously during individual diastoles.

The findings demonstrate the importance of VFP as a determinant of CBF during ischemia, and they lend support to the concept that blood flow in the ischemic ventricle is regulated by a preload-dependent transmural gradient in coronary driving pressure.
