Abstract
To gain insight into the mechanisms of myocardial regulation as it relates to the interaction of mechanical and metabolic function and perfusion, intact animal models were instrumented for routine physiological measurements of mechanical function and for measurements of metabolism (31P NMR, NADH fluorescence (redox state)) and perfusion (2H NMR and Laser doppler techniques). These techniques were applied to canine and cat models of volume and/or pressure loading, hypoxia, ischemia and cardiomyopathic states. Data generated using these techniques indicate that myocardial bioenergetic function is quite stable under most loading conditions as long as the heart is not ischemic. In addition, these data indicate that there is no universal regulator and that different biochemical regulators appear to mediate stable function under different physiological and pathophysiological conditions: for example; during hypoxia, NADH redox state appears to play a regulatory role; and in pressure loading, ADP, phosphorylation potential and free energy of ATP hydrolysis as well as NADH redox state appear to be regulatory.
