title: [Effect of aspartate compounds on the biochemical characteristics of myocardial energy metabolism in man].
abstract: Twenty-five patients undergoing aortic valve replacement were administered two different electrolyte solutions pre- and intraoperatively: patients in group A (n = 9) received a balanced solution of electrolytes and trace metals with aspartate as anion (Inzolen), patients in group B (n = 16) received Ringer's solution with potassium chloride referenced to frequently-measured serum potassium levels. From the left ventricular apex region, needle biopsies were obtained at three points in time: 1. beginning of CPB, 2. end of ischemia, 3. after ten minutes of reperfusion. The tissue samples were enzymatically analyzed for the content of ATP, CP, ADP and lactate. In group A (patients with aspartate) ATP (moderately) and CP (markedly) decreased after ischemia with a marked increase after reperfusion. ADP and lactate in this group (A) increased at the end of ischemia and decreased after reperfusion. ATP and CP in group B (KCl) showed a similar course during the investigation. Lactate (markedly) and ADP (moderately) increased after ischemia without changing after reperfusion. Mean values of ATP and CP in group A were significantly higher than those of group B at all times. Mean values of ADP and lactate, however, in group A were below those of group B. The data indicate an improvement in energetic metabolism of myocardium in man. The results point out the possible importance of aspartates in compound with electrolytes and trace metals in preservation of biochemical energy.
