Abstract：
:Coronary hemodynamics (blood flow, coronary reserve, myocardial oxygen consumption) were analyzed in both experimental and clinical hypertension. Significantly reduced coronary reserve was found in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. Medial hypertrophy of small coronary vessels associated with a marked increase in the wall thickness/radius ratio was considered sufficient to explain the impaired coronary flow in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy. After long-term pharmacotherapy, there was normalization of both medial hypertrophy and coronary reserve. This small-vessel abnormality correlates well with clinical findings in hypertensive heart disease (angina and electrocardiographic changes despite normal coronary arteriogram). Moreover, this structural adaptation of the small vessels may carry the inherent risk of an impaired oxygen supply to the hypertrophied myocardium. Thus, late cardiac failure of the hypertrophied heart in hypertension may be attributed, in part, to this microcirculation disorder. Conversely, reversal of left ventricular hypertrophy and of hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle by specific pharmacotherapy can be considered a possible rational approach to the prevention of cardiac failure in hypertensive patients. Controlled clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings with regard to prevention of heart failure, and pharmacotherapeutic studies are necessary to define the optimal drug regimen for reversal of vascular smooth muscle hypertrophy.
