Myocardial metabolism and ventricular function following cold potassium cardioplegia

SE Fremes, RD Weisel, DA Mickle, J Ivanov, MM Madonik, SJ Seawright, S Houle, PR McLaughlin and RJ Baird

Transient alterations in myocardial metabolism and ventricular function were observed after elective coronary bypass grafting despite apparently adequate intraoperative protection with cold potassium cardioplegia. Ninety patients had serial hemodynamic measurements and coronary sinus catheters inserted. Thirty-three patients had thermodilution coronary sinus flow catheters inserted to measure coronary sinus blood flow and to evaluate the myocardial utilization of oxygen and lactate. Nuclear ventriculograms were performed in 43 patients to assess ventricular function. Cardiac index fell after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass and then rose between 2 and 24 hours postoperatively. Myocardial oxygen consumption steadily increased during this period. Myocardial lactate production reverted to lactate extraction 30 minutes after reperfusion. Reactive hyperemia was present during the first 10 minutes after cross-clamp release, and coronary sinus blood flow increased gradually during the first 24 hours postoperatively. The response to the stress of volume loading (the infusion of 250 to 500 ml of a colloid solution) and atrial pacing (at a rate of 110 beats/min) was evaluated 2 to 4 hours postoperatively (EARLY) and between 4 to 6 hours postoperatively (LATE). Volume loading resulted in a decrease in lactate extraction EARLY and an increase LATE (EARLY: -0.07 +/- 0.35 mmol/L; LATE: 0.08 +/- 0.32 mmol/L, mean +/- standard deviation not significant). Atrial pacing resulted in a decrease in lactate extraction EARLY and an increase LATE (EARLY: -0.11 +/- 0.34 mmol/L; LATE: 0.14 +/- 0.36 mmol/L, p less than 0.05). Diastolic compliance (the relation between the end-diastolic volume index) decreased between EARLY and LATE. Systolic function (the relation between the systolic blood pressure and the end-systolic volume index) and myocardial performance (the relation between the left ventricular stroke work index and the end-diastolic volume index) were unchanged. Ejection fraction correlated inversely with the end- diastolic volume index and did not represent an independent index of contractility. After elective coronary bypass grafting and cold crystalloid cardioplegia, myocardial metabolism recovered slowly. Hemodynamic stresses should be avoided in the early postoperative period to prevent progressive ischemic injury.
