The effect of progressive periods of severe myocardial ischemia --in vivo on tissue high energy phosphate was assessed in open chest dogs in relation to the ultrastructural and functional changes characteristic of irreversible cell injury.

Ischemic tissue was identified by injecting thioflavine S, 5-10 seconds prior to excision of the heart. Severely ischemic non-fluorescent tissue from the posterior papillary muscle (PP) was compared with nonischemic muscle from the anterior papillary muscle W). The loss of 65% of the ATP and 55% of the total adenine nucleotides (CAd) after 15 minutes of ischemia (reversible injury) was associated with minimal ultrastructural changes and no significant alterations in ionic gradients or the diffusible space (IDS) of incubated slices. By 40 minutes (irreversible injury), only 6% of the ATP and 31% the CAd remained. Incubated slices of this tissue failed to maintain ionic gradients and showed an increase in the IDS. Moreover, myocytes of those slices showed myofibrillar contraction bands and breaks in the plasmalemma. These results indicate that there is a close association between irreversible cellular injury, marked depletion of sP04 and CAd and the development of structural defects in the cell membrane. Marked depletion of SPO and CM and defective membrane function appear to be early and charac$eristic features of irreversible injury.(NIH Grant No.,HL23138)",
