Summary
In control dogs mannitol produced a moderate increase in coronary blood flow, a decrease in coronary vascular resistance, and a moderate increase in cardiac output. In dogs with coronary occlusion mannitol increased retrograde coronary blood flow (+25%) and collateral conductance suggesting increased blood availability to ischemic myocardium.
