Abstract
The time course of the effects of intravenous or intracoronary administration of peptide leukotrienes on metabolic parameters and on systemic and coronary hemodynamics was evaluated in 15 patients with normal coronary arteries. Peptide leukotriene C4 (2 nmol given as a bolus intravenous injection) induced an early fall (at 2 min) in mean arterial pressure (P4 administration. In contrast, at 10 min post leukotriene C4, with coronary blood flow and myocardial oxygen consumption unchanged, an increase in coronary vascular resistance (P4. Peptide leukotriene D4 (3 nmol, given in the left coronary artery) induced an early (20 s) and transient fall in mean arterial pressure (P
