Summary
In isolated guinea pig hearts epicardial perfusion was estimated by analysis of the transit profile of different fluorescence indicators. Several coronary dilating agents were tested with regard to their influence on local perfusion kinetics revealing distinct patterns of microcirculatory drug action.
