Clinical review demonstrates alterations in myocardial metabolism during congestive heart failure, suggesting disrupted cardiac energy production.

Investigate alterations in myocardial metabolism and biochemical energy pathways in congestive heart failure.
Evaluated myocardial substrate extraction and biochemical metabolic parameters in the context of failing heart muscle.
Congestive heart failure is associated with significant disruptions in myocardial energy production and substrate utilization.
Impairments in cardiac biochemical pathways directly correlate with reduced contractile function and altered cardiac energetics.

Olson et al. (1951) studied this question.
