Effect of l-NMMA and SMTC on coronary artery diameter during incremental pacing. A and B: response to l-NMMA with coronary diameter plotted against heart rate and cardiac workload, respectively. C and D: response to SMTC with coronary diameter plotted against heart rate and cardiac workload, respectively. Data at baseline and peak pacing are shown. *P < 0.05 for comparison of coronary diameter at peak pacing vs. baseline; †P < 0.01 for significant interaction between groups by 2-way ANOVA; **P < 0.01. Bpm, beats/min.
