Although low doses of the biologically-active fragment of parathyroid hormone PTH-(1-34), have been shown to produce potent dilation of the coronary circulation specific regional and transmural (endo/epi) myocardial blood flow (MBF) responses to the hormone have not been described. Anesthetized open-chest mongrel dogs were instrumented to quantitate coronary blood flow and other cardiodynamic parameters. PTH-(1-34) was infused into the left circumflex artery (.008 nmol kg/sup -1/ min/sup -1/). Using the reference withdrawal method, radionuclide-labeled microspheres were injected before (basal flow), during (8 min after new steady-state flow), and after (restoration of basal flow) a 20 min infusion of PTH-(1-34). MFB increased from 76 +- 1.9 to 152 +- 3.5 ml min/sup -1/ 100 g/sup -1/ (P < .001) during PTH-(1-34) infusion. No differences in endo/epi flow ratio or regional coronary blood flow within the left ventricle were detected. Thus, in anesthetized dogs, the increase in MBF observed secondary to the PTH-(1-34)-induced decrease in coronary resistance appeared to be uniform transmurally and regionally, and is probably not the result of a shunting or steal phenomenon.
