Abstract
BKPC preserves endothelium-dependent microvascular responses and prevents the hypercontractility to U46619. These effects may provide increased coronary perfusion and prevent arteriolar spasm after open heart surgery. They suggest that BK preconditions the coronary microvasculature during cardiovascular surgery.
