Abstract

This chapter reviews a basic understanding of coronary artery physiology and pharmacology. Mechanisms of physiological control of coronary blood flow are discussed first. This serves as a basis for a discussion of the major classes of drugs used clinically which affect coronary blood flow including nitrates, angiotension converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and alpha- and beta-adrenergic antagonists. The mechanism of action of each drug class, the evidence for its effects on coronary blood flow, and its clinical use in myocardial infarction, and acute and chronic myocardial ischemia are reviewed.
