Arterial hypoxia may raise MVO2 despite stable hemodynamics in blocked dogs; hypothesis-generating for myocardial efficiency and requires human validation.
Does arterial hypoxia increase myocardial oxygen consumption in adrenergically blocked dogs?
Arterial hypoxia increases myocardial oxygen consumption and decreases myocardial efficiency despite stable or decreased hemodynamic parameters.
Powers et al. (1973) studied this question.
