Keeping with this thread.  Intercostal steal phenoma is not only  
possible in practice, but it is also explainable in physiology.

Coronary blood flow occurs mostly during diastole, but is not  
completely absent during systole.  The reason is that the pressure of  
the myocardial wall varies from endothelium to epicardium related to  
the physics of tension in a sphere, whereas the systolic pressure is  
identical to the intraventricular pressure in the endothelium, that  
is not the case to the epicardium, where the pressure is slightly  
less than peak systolic, thus coronary flow can and does occur in  
systole to areas of the epicardium throughout the ventricules.  R.  
Baird out of Toronto did  extensive research back in the early and  
middle 70's regarding intramyocardial tissue pressures under a number  
of physiological circumstances, such as a beating heart, empty  
beating heart, fibrillating heart, etc.  Most of his research was  
published in Circulation Research.

Hope this completes this issue, but if you really need the citations  
I am afraid I presently do not have the time to look for them

Cheers,

Victor
