BACKGROUND: The mechanisms governing exercise-induced angina and its alleviation
by the most commonly used antianginal drug, nitroglycerin, are incompletely
understood. The purpose of this study was to develop a method by which the
effects of antianginal drugs could be evaluated invasively during physiological
exercise to gain further understanding of the clinical impact of angina and
nitroglycerin. METHODS: Forty patients (mean age, 65.2±7.6 years) with exertional
angina and coronary artery disease underwent cardiac catheterization via radial
access and performed incremental exercise using a supine cycle ergometer. As they
developed limiting angina, sublingual nitroglycerin was administered to half the
patients, and all patients continued to exercise for 2 minutes at the same
workload. Throughout exercise, distal coronary pressure and flow velocity and
central aortic pressure were recorded with sensor wires. RESULTS: Patients
continued to exercise after nitroglycerin administration with less ST-segment
depression (P=0.003) and therefore myocardial ischemia. Significant reductions in
afterload (aortic pressure, P=0.030) and myocardial oxygen demand were seen
(tension-time index, P=0.024; rate-pressure product, P=0.046), as well as an
increase in myocardial oxygen supply (Buckberg index, P=0.017). Exercise reduced
peripheral arterial wave reflection (P<0.05), which was not further augmented by
the administration of nitroglycerin (P=0.648). The observed increases in coronary
pressure gradient, stenosis resistance, and flow velocity did not reach
statistical significance; however, the diastolic velocity-pressure gradient
relation was consistent with a significant increase in relative stenosis severity
(k coefficient, P<0.0001), in keeping with exercise-induced vasoconstriction of
stenosed epicardial segments and dilatation of normal segments, with trends
toward reversal with nitroglycerin. CONCLUSIONS: The catheterization laboratory
protocol provides a model to study myocardial ischemia and the actions of novel
and established antianginal drugs. Administration of nitroglycerin causes changes
in the systemic and coronary circulation that combine to reduce myocardial oxygen
demand and to increase supply, thereby attenuating exercise-induced ischemia.
Designing antianginal therapies that exploit these mechanisms may provide new
therapeutic strategies.
