A member asked:

Could you please describe how increases in the heart rate affect coronary blood flow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inverse: The coronaries fill during diastole. As heart rate increases, diastole shortens. At very fast heart rates, there may be inadequate time for coronary filling.
