Typical examples of coronary small arteries within the myocardium of Sham-operated swine (A) and swine with AoB (B). The scale bar denotes 100 μm. The wall to lumen ratio both as a function of inner (C) and outer (D) was significantly increased in myocardium from swine with AoB. Shown are 34 vessels from 4 Sham-operated swine and 36 vessels from 5 AoB swine. The vasoconstrictor response to 100 mM KCl was significantly increased in vessels from AoB (n = 6) as compared to Sham (n = 8), (E). The wall to lumen ratio in vessels with inner diameters ranging from 100 to 200 μm was increased in AoB as compared to Sham (F). ^∗P < 0.05 AoB vs. Sham.
