Coronary and Peripheral Vasomotor Responses to Mental Stress

BackgroundCoronary microvascular dysfunction may contribute to myocardial ischemia during mental stress (MS). However, the role of coronary epicardial and microvascular function in regulating coronary blood flow (CBF) responses during MS remains understudied. We hypothesized that coronary vasomotion...

MS increased the rate‐pressure product by 22% (±23%) and constricted epicardial coronary arteries by −5.9% (−10.5%, −2.6%) (median [interquartile range]), P=0.001, without changing CBF. Acetylcholine increased CBF by 38.5% (8.1%, 91.3%), P=0.001, without epicardial coronary diameter change (0.1% [−10.9%, 8.2%], P=not significant). The MS‐induced CBF response correlated with endothelium‐dependent CBF changes with acetylcholine (r=0.38, P=0.03) but not with the response to nitroprusside. The peripheral arterial tonometry ratio also correlated with the demand‐adjusted change in CBF during MS (r=−0.60, P=0.004), indicating similarity between the microcirculatory responses to MS in the coronary and peripheral microcirculation. ConclusionsThe coronary microvascular response to MS is determined by endothelium‐dependent, but not endothelium‐independent, coronary microvascular function.
