4 ...Myocardial blood flow during resting conditions... in normal human subjects is generally reported in the range of ml/min/g of myocardium. The wide range of resting values of left ventricular blood flow in awake animals appears to be related to the state of alertness. Animals conditioned to rest quietly in the laboratory have the lowest reported values, whereas animals standing on a treadmill ready to run have higher heart rates and higher coronary flow rates... (Dunker DJ and Bache RJ Physiol Review 2008)
