The effects of occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery on a variety of metabolic parameters was examined in both infarcted and noninfarcted areas of the dog heart. These included mitochondrial performance, glycolysis, in vitro contractility, and regional myocardial blood flow. Measurements were made at 1 and 3 h after onset of ischemia. Regional coronary blood flow was measured in infarcted, noninfarcted and borderline regions using radioactive microspheres. Blood flow through the ischemic area was reduced by an average of 69% after 1 h of ischemia, and 75% after 3 h. After 3 h the subendocardium of the borderline region also revealed a significantly reduced blood flow. Mitochondria isolated from the ischemic region of the heart exhibited a substantial decrease in the rate of respiration (QO2), and minor reductions in the coupling between oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport (RCI), and in the amount of ADP phosphorylated per oxygen reduced (ADP:O ratio). Levels of hexose monophosphates were elevated 1 and 3 h after ischemia was initiated. At the same time, the concentration of fructose-1,6-diphosphate declined markedly, reflecting inhibition of glycolysis at the phosphofructokinase level. Concentrations of the adenosine phosphate moieties, as well as creatine phosphate, were reduced, while levels of free fatty acids were elevated in ischemic tissue. The in vitro contractility of glycerinated ischemic muscle fibers was also depressed. Significant changes were found in maximal tension development (P0), maximal rate of tension development (dp/dtmax), time to peak tension (t0), and shortening velocity at zero load (Vmax).
