ABSTRACT
Focal necrosis (microinfarcts) and regional lactate derangements were observed in closed chest dogs in the nonoccluded (remote) posterior segments of the left and right ventricles after acute occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. Focal infarcts in the remote areas were observed in five of the six dogs with 7 days of occlusion of the left anterior descending artery and in six of seven dogs with 7 days of reperfusion after 3 hours of occlusion. There was a good correlation between the finding of microinfarcts and myocardial lactate derangements in the corresponding remote myocardium. No significant lactate derangements or microinfarcts were found in sham experiments. These findings suggest that ischemia of the remote myocardium frequently accompanies an acute coronary occlusion and may result in irreversible focal lesions.
