To investigate the relationships between coronary artery size, left ventricular (LV) mass, and LV stroke work in aortic regurgitation (AR), these values were measured in 19 patients with severe AR. Twenty normal subjects and 15 patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) were used as control groups. The coronary area index, i.e., the coronary cross-sectional area divided by body surface area (BSA), was larger in the AR group than in the control groups in all measured sites except for the peripheral left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). However, the coronary area index divided by the LV mass was significantly smaller in AR and MR patients than in normal subjects. Furthermore, the coronary area index divided by LV stroke work was smaller in AR patients than in MR patients and normal subjects. These results suggest that the coronary blood flow associated with the increased LV mass and stroke work caused by regurgitation was insufficient in patients with severe AR, especially in the area of the LAD. Therefore, the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in patients with severe AR may involve inadequate enlargement of the coronary artery which perfuses the LV, in addition to factors such as decreased coronary perfusion pressure, increased coronary artery resistance and decreased coronary flow reserve.
