Sympathetic innervation of coronary arteries in conditions of normal coronary circulation and coronary stenosis
https://doi.org/10.24884/1682-6655-2023-22-3-4-13
Abstract
We analyzed the literature data on the role of coronary vessels’ sympathetic innervation in the regulation of the heart muscle blood circulation. We observed different effects of adrenergic influences on coronary circulation in conditions of normal epicardial arteries and in case of dynamic or organic coronary obstruction. We suggested a functional role of sympathetic influences on coronary circulation.
Keywords
