The effect of nitroglycerin administration on left venticular performance relative to its ability to improve contraction of asynergic zones was examined in 66 patients with coronary artery disease, divided into those whose asynergic zones responded following nitroglycerin administration and those in whom no response was observed. In the responsive group with asynergy of more than one segment, the ejection fraction improved (P less than 0.001), while in the unresponsive group, it decreased (P less than 0.05). Similarly, in patients with one-segment asynergy, the responsive group exhibited a significant increase in ejection fraction P less than 0.001), while the unresponsive group showed no change. The stroke volume index remained unchanged in the responsive group with asynergy of more than one segment, while it decreased significantly (P less than 0.05) in the unresponsive patients. Left ventricular pressures and volumes changed to a similar degree after nitroglycerin administration in all of the patients, regardless of the responsiveness of asynergic zones. It is concluded that nitroglycerin administration results in a differential effect on total left ventricular performance depending on the responsiveness of asynergic zones.
