title: Myocardial energy metabolism.
abstract: Normal myocardial function is dependent on aerobic energy production. A wide variety of substrates, including free fatty acids, glucose, lactate and ketone bodies, may be used in the myocyte. Anaerobic metabolism is not sufficient to produce enough energy to maintain the normal concentration of high energy phosphates in the myocytes during cardiac ischaemia.
