title: Preservation of oxidative phosphorylation by lidocaine in ischemic and reperfused myocardium.
abstract: The effect of lidocaine (2 mg/kg bolus, 0.04 mg/kg per min infusion) on ischemic and reperfused myocardial respiration was assessed in 32 dogs, using indices of mitochondrial respiration (ADP:O ratio, state 3 and state 4 respiration, and respiratory control index). Heart rate, left ventricular (LV) pressure, LV dp/dt, cardiac index, epicardial ST segment, and regional myocardial blood flow, using 9 +/- 1 micron radiospheres, were measured after 40 min of constriction of the anterior descending coronary artery (N = 16) and after 20 min of reperfusion (N = 16). Results showed that lidocaine increased state 3 respiration and respiratory control in reperfused myocardium (P less than 0.05) with both glutamate and succinate-rotenone as substrate. It is concluded that lidocaine improves postischemic mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation independent of altered hemodynamics or change in myocardial blood flow.
