| pubmed-article:2742185 | pubmed:abstractText | Myocardial metabolism has been experimentally studied in acute heart failure caused by the ligation of the left coronary artery branches and during intraaortic balloon counterpulsation. It has been shown that experimental acute heart failure and developing cardiogenic shock are accompanied by progressive deterioration in myocardial energy supply with predominant anaerobic metabolism. In intraaortic balloon counterpulsation and sufficient O2 supply of the myocardium nonesterified fatty acids are primarily metabolized. With the decrease in O2 consumption the proportion of energy-preserving metabolites, i.e. carbohydrates, is increased. | lld:pubmed |
