Assessment of cardiac energetics at the level of ATP-synthesis,
chemomechanical energy transformation and whole organ dynamics as a
function of haemodynamic load, ventricular configuration and
oxygen- and substrates supply is basic to understanding cardiac
function under physiological and pathophysiological (hypertrophy,
hypoxia, ischaemia and heart failure) conditions. Moreover, cardiac
energetics should be an important consideration in the choice and
application of drugs especially in the case of vasodilators,
inotropic agents and in cardioprotective measures. Only by
considering energetics at the subcellular, cellular, and
whole-heart level we can arrive at a better understanding of
cardiac performance and ultimately better clinical judgement and
drug therapy. Quantification of myocardial energetics will also
help to determine the optimal time for surgical interventions such
as valvular replacement or aneurysm resection. The present volume
is the outcome of an international symposium on cardiac energetics
held in Gargellen/Montafon (Austria), June 1986. The contributions
will certainly help bridge the existing gap between basic research
involving isolated structures and that involving the whole organ,
on the one hand, and render the results derived from basic research
applicable to clinical problems, on the other hand.
