| Abstract | The effect of alpha1-receptor blockade with urapidil on coronary blood flow and left ventricular function has been attributed to relief of diffuse coronary vasoconstriction following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We hypothesized that an increase in diastolic time fraction (DTF) contributes to the beneficial action of urapidil. In eleven patients with a 63% (SD 13) diameter stenosis, ECG, aortic pressure (Pa) and distal intracoronary pressure (Pd), and blood flow velocity were recorded at baseline and throughout adenosine-induced hyperemia. Measurements were obtained before and after PCI and after subsequent alpha1-receptor blockade with urapidil (10 mg ic). DTF was determined from the ECG and the Pa waveform. Functional parameters such as coronary flow velocity reserve, fractional flow reserve, and an index of hyperemic microvascular resistance (HMR) were assessed. Urapidil administration after PCI induced an upward shift in the DTF-heart rate relationship, resulting in a 3.1% (SD 2.7) increase in hyperemic DTF at a constant heart rate (P < 0.005) due to a shorter duration of systole. Hyperemic Pa and Pd decreased, respectively, by 6.1% (SD 6.6; P < 0.05) and 5.7% (SD 5.8; P < 0.01) after alpha1-blockade. Although epicardially measured functional parameters were on average not altered by alpha1-blockade due to concurrent changes in pressure and heart rate, HMR decreased by urapidil in those patients where coronary pressure remained constant. In conclusion, alpha1-receptor blockade after PCI produced a modest but significant prolongation of DTF at a given heart rate, thereby providing an adjunctive beneficial mechanism for improving subendocardial perfusion, which critically depends on DTF. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
