Abstract

Aim: The aim of this review was to develop a deeper knowledge of the physiology of coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve in young patients with congenital heart disease and inflammatory diseases. Methods: We searched for papers published in English on coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve using the PubMed and Google search databases. This identified 42 papers extending back to 1976 and a book from 2008 (Davis et al. Microcirculation. Boston, MA: Elsevier, 2008: 161–284). Results: Our review showed that the implications of coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve in paediatric patients with congenital heart disease and inflammatory diseases are still not fully understood. However, a key finding was that coronary flow... (More)

Aim: The aim of this review was to develop a deeper knowledge of the physiology of coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve in young patients with congenital heart disease and inflammatory diseases. Methods: We searched for papers published in English on coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve using the PubMed and Google search databases. This identified 42 papers extending back to 1976 and a book from 2008 (Davis et al. Microcirculation. Boston, MA: Elsevier, 2008: 161–284). Results: Our review showed that the implications of coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve in paediatric patients with congenital heart disease and inflammatory diseases are still not fully understood. However, a key finding was that coronary flow reserve was diminished in patients with congenital heart disease and inflammation after surgery, with or without a cardiopulmonary bypass. Other findings discussed by this review relate to volume and pressure overload in acyanotic congenital heart disease, reduced myocardial perfusion and cyanotic congenital heart disease. Conclusion: We still have much to discover about paediatric patients with congenital heart disease and inflammatory diseases. Understanding the pathophysiology of coronary blood flow could help the postoperative treatment of such patients.
