[Lactate metabolism in acute myocardial infarction].
In 18 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the Cardiological Care Department within 6 hours after the onset of chest pain, before administration of drugs and then in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th day, the levels of glucose, pyruvate, lactate in venous blood, the lactate/pyruvate ratio (L/P) and pH, actual hydrocarbons, PCO2 and PO2 in capillary arterialized were determined. Depending on the clinical status at admission the patients were classified into 2 groups: I--without complications (I class according to Killip-Kimbal; n = 10), and II--with complications (II-IV class of cardiac failure according to Killip-Kimbal and/or complex ventricular arrhythmias e.i. III-V class according to Lown and heart block of Mobitz--type II and III degree; n = 8). None of the patients had diabetes, chronic respiratory tract diseases, renal failure and liver cirrhosis. The control group consisted of 11 healthy persons. On the first day of myocardial infarction, the significant increase of blood glucose, lactate, pyruvate, as well as significant decrease of blood pH, HCO3- and PO2, and non significant increase of L/P ratio were observed in both groups as compared to the control group. Also there were non significant difference of the glucose, lactate, pyruvate L/P ratio and pH, PCO2 and HCO3- values between the I and II group on the first day of the acute myocardial infarction, with exception of the PO2, which was significantly lower in the group II. In the following days an increase of PO2 was observed. Since this effect coincided with a decrease of lactate concentration (significant only in the group II) it could be concluded, that the observed decrease of the lactate concentration resulted from the higher supply of oxygen. The obtained results have shown, that increase of glycaemia values and decrease of PO2 values may be considered as biochemical markers for hemodynamic complications of acute myocardial infarction.
