Although it is well known that chronic effect of smoking on cardiovascular system, relation between coronary vascular reactivity and ventricular functions after acute smoking has not been well understood. The purpose of this study was to assess the relation between coronary flow velocity reserve and ventricular diastolic functions measured by tissue Doppler imaging after acute smoking. We found that coronary flow velocity and diastolic functions of right ventricle were decreased. Also, there was a correlation between coronary flow velocity reserve and diastolic ratio of the ventricle. Acute smoking may affect diastolic functions of the ventricles, especially right ventricle via changes of coronary flow.
