OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the coronary vasomotor response to the cold-pressor test within 3 months after heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND: Normal epicardial coronary arteries dilate in response to sympathetic stimulation evoked by the cold-pressor test. In transplant recipients, abnormal coronary vasomotion has been described shortly after operation.
METHODS: Fourteen heart transplant recipients were compared 52 +/- 15 days (mean +/- SD) after operation with 10 control subjects. All had angiographically normal epicardial coronary arteries. Coronary blood flow velocity was measured with a Doppler catheter placed in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. Four segments in each patient were analyzed by quantitative coronary angiography to assess the diameter changes during the cold-pressor test and after intracoronary injection of isosorbide dinitrate.
RESULTS: Coronary flow velocity increased similarly during the cold-pressor test in control subjects and in transplant recipients, from 7.5 +/- 2.3 to 11.0 +/- 3.9 cm/s and from 10.3 +/- 3.2 to 13.7 +/- 4.8 cm/s (both p < 0.01). In control subjects, 39 of 40 segments analyzed dilated during the cold-pressor test. In transplant recipients, 48 of 56 segments analyzed did not change or constricted. The mean epicardial coronary diameter increased significantly during the cold-pressor test in control subjects (+13 +/- 6%, p < 0.001), whereas it did not change significantly in transplant recipients (-2 +/- 9%, p = NS). In transplant recipients, isosorbide dinitrate elicited coronary vasodilation similar to that in control subjects.
CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that in human transplanted denervated hearts, coronary vasodilation in response to sympathetic stimulation by cold exposure is impaired shortly after operation.
