Ce qui a été fait dans l'étude:

Study Protocol
All vasoactive drugs were discontinued at least 24 hours before catheterization except for sublingual nitroglycerin, which was withheld for at least 1 hour. Long-acting β-blockers were stopped 48 hours before study. Diagnostic left heart catheterization and coronary arteriography were performed by a standard percutaneous femoral approach. Diagnostic catheters (6F) were introduced into the left main or right coronary artery, depending on the vessel under study. A 5F bipolar pacing wire (St Jude Medical) was placed against the high lateral right atrial wall.
***The pacing study was then performed. After control conditions were established, rapid atrial pacing was conducted at 20 bpm above baseline heart rate for 2 minutes, followed by increments in the pacing rate of 20 bpm for 2 minutes each until a final pacing rate of 150 bpm was reached, angina was produced, or atrioventricular Wenckebach block developed.*** = highest pacing step

After rapid atrial pacing, a 2-minute recovery period was allowed. Intracoronary isosorbide dinitrate (1 to 2 mg total dose) was administered. Atrioventricular Wenckebach block was not treated with intravenous atropine so as to not influence coronary vasomotion and blood flow responses. Pacing from the right ventricle was performed up to 150 bpm in the patients who developed atrioventricular Wenckebach block at rates below 110 bpm.

Serial contrast injections of the study vessel were performed at baseline, at the end of a 2-minute period at each pacing rate, within beats ***after ending the highest pacing step*** and after intracoronary nitrates administration. Heart rate and blood pressure were digitally recorded during the entire study protocol. Rate-pressure product at baseline and at maximal pacing rate was calculated as heart rate x systolic blood pressure.
