Abstract The goal of this study was to determine both the early and delayed effects of a brief (10-minute) coronary artery occlusion (CAO) and prolonged (5-day) reperfusion (CAR) on coronary endothelial function. Fourteen mongrel dogs were chronically instrumented to measure aortic and left ventricular pressures, wall thickness, and left circumflex coronary blood flow (CBF). Before CAO and during CAR, coronary vascular reactivity was investigated by 15-second CAO and subsequent reactive hyperemia (RH) and by the selective intracoronary infusion of acetylcholine (ACh, 10 µg/min) and bradykinin (BK, 2.5 µg/min), endothelium-dependent vasodilators, and sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 40 µg/min), an endothelium-independent vasodilator. CBF responses to ACh and BK began to increase after 6 hours of CAR, reached a peak after 1 to 2 days of CAR, and then subsided over the subsequent 4 days. After 1 day of CAR, compared with before CAO, enhanced CBF responses (P<.05), associated with increased coronary sinus oxygen content, were observed for ACh (+66±20%), BK (+74±24%), and RH (+24±5%) but not SNP (-2±10%). Production of NO metabolites (nitrate and nitrite), measured as their coronary arteriovenous differencexCBF, was significantly increased after 1 to 2 days of CAR, both at baseline (153±56%) and during BK infusion (220±76%) (P<.05). Holding CBF at pre-CAO levels during the initial CAR period did not attenuate the delayed enhanced endothelial vasodilation to ACh and BK. However, NO blockade with intracoronary NG-nitro-L-arginine blocked the enhanced coronary vasodilation to ACh and BK. Thus, in contrast to previous studies, these data indicate that brief ischemic episodes induce delayed enhanced coronary endothelial function, which is delayed in onset and prolonged in duration. This can be explained by an upregulation of coronary vascular NO production, potentially involved in the mechanism of the delayed window of preconditioning.
