چکیده

BACKGROUND Prolonged metabolic abnormalities have been demonstrated previously in postischemic myocardium, including relative increases in glucose uptake and abnormal fatty acid kinetics. However, quantitative metabolic information is limited, and the time course of changes in MVO2 in postischemic myocardium is unknown. To address these issues, chronically instrumented dogs were studied serially over 1 month after transient left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion, using positron emission tomography. METHODS AND RESULTS Dynamic imaging protocols were used in conjunction with tracer kinetic models to quantify blood flow and metabolic rates. Myocardial sectors were defined as normal, predominantly reversibly injured, and infarct-containing, based on occlusion blood flow images and postmortem histochemistry. Myocardial blood flow and metabolism were homogeneous at baseline. During LAD occlusion for 3 hours, myocardial blood flow in reversibly injured and infarct-containing sectors (determined with 13NH3) was decreased to 46% and 23%, respectively, of blood flow in normal tissue. MVO2, determined with [1-11C]acetate, was decreased less than myocardial blood flow, consistent with increased oxygen extraction in the ischemic tissue. After reperfusion, blood flow normalized rapidly in reversibly injured tissue but remained depressed in infarct-containing sectors. Regional myocardial function, assessed by two-dimensional echocardiography, was severely depressed during occlusion and did not improve significantly until 1 week after reperfusion. MVO2 remained depressed after reperfusion in both reversibly injured and infarct-containing sectors, did not improve from occlusion levels until 1 week after reperfusion, and remained significantly depressed 1 month after reperfusion even in reversibly injured sectors; [1-11C]palmitate kinetics were also abnormal in postischemic tissue. As reported previously, glucose metabolic rates were increased relative to baseline in normal but not in postischemic tissue 3 hours after reperfusion. Subsequently, glucose metabolism tended to be higher in postischemic relative to normal myocardium. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate decreased oxidative metabolism in postischemic tissue, with concomitant abnormalities in palmitate kinetics and glucose metabolism. Oxidative metabolism and regional function demonstrated a parallel recovery with time.

Glucose metabolism in reperfused myocardium measured by [2-18F] 2-fluorodeoxyglucose and PET.

OBJECTIVE [2-18F] 2-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is widely used to trace glucose metabolism for cardiac imaging with positron emission tomography. Because the transport and phosphorylation rates differ for glucose and FDG, a lumped constant (LC) is used to correct for these differences. The effects of ischemia and reperfusion on the LC in vivo are unknown. To determine the validity of FDG as a trac...

Depression of action potential characteristics and a decreased space constant are present in postischemic, reperfused myocardium.

Brief periods of ischemia and reperfusion may lead to arrhythmias and delayed epicardial activation. To determine the nature of the electrophysiologic substrate and to gain insight into potential mechanisms underlying the electrophysiologic and hemodynamic abnormalities that develop in this setting, standard microelectrode techniques were used to measure action potential characteristics, conduc...

Tutorials in Molecular and Cellular Biology Oxygen Free Radicals and Cardiac Reperfusion Abnormalities

Oxygen free radicals are highly reactive compounds causing peroxldation of lipids and proteins and are thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of reperfusion abnormalities including myocardial stunning, irreversible injury, and reperfusion arrhythmias. Free radical accumulation has been measured in ischemic and reperfused myocardium directly using techniques such as electron param...

Early diastolic function observed in canine model of reperfused transmural myocardial infarction using high temporal resolution MR imaging

Background Coronary angioplasty limits infarct expansion post myocardial infarction (MI). However, under certain conditions such as prolonged ischemia, the procedure induces reperfusion injury (RI), linked to adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling and heart failure (HF). The functional mechanisms involved in adverse remodeling post reperfusion are still unclear. We have developed a new high t...

ATP sparing effect of isoflurane during ischaemia and reperfusion of the canine heart.

Sustained dysfunction of myocardial contractility after short periods of coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion has been termed "stunned myocardium". Isoflurane may improve the recovery of regional myocardial contractility in stunned myocardium. The purpose of the present study was to determine if isoflurane prevents depletion of high energy phosphates after myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion ...
