... of normal myocardial metabolism in the face of acute reduction in available oxygen. It is the latter which is missing from our therapeutic attack and the subject of the present review. Profound changes occur in systemic metabolism during any episode of acute ischaemia and these may result in the myocardium...

.... In the present study, we studied the acute effects of the imidazoline-receptor agonist moxonidine on haemodynamics, NA (noradrenaline) kinetics and myocardial metabolism. Fifteen patients with CHF (chronic heart failure) were randomized to a single dose of 0.6 mg of sustained-release moxonidine or matching...

... and to produce favourable short- and long-term haemodynamic and neurohormonal benefits in CHF patients. The mechanisms responsible for these actions are not completely understood. We measured the haemodynamic and myocardial metabolic response to the acute (10 min) application of CPAP in CHF patients. Myocardial...

The data obtained suggest that the beneficial effect of l -glutamic acid on depressed cardiac function in postoperative patients is related to changes in myocardial metabolism. Glutamic acid may be useful...
