Haemodynamics
Diastolic blood flow through the coronary arteries depends on the pressure difference between the coronary ostia and the coronary sinus.
Thus, ischaemic heart disease may caused by:
- low aortic pressure caused by haemorrhage, shock or aortic stenosis
- high right atrial pressure caused by tricuspid regurgitation
- left sided heart failure
