Investigates the role of the endothelium and of several substances in the coronary vasoconstriction induced by a high arterial blood oxygen tension. Oxygenation of red blood cells in Krebs-Henseleit buffer; Determination of increases in coronary resistance via increases in perfusion pressure; Factors resulting to damaged coronary vasoconstriction.
