Basal MVO2 stability in arrested dog hearts warrants no clinical change; leaves open translation to human cardioplegia or energetics.
Does dobutamine or left ventricular volume change resting oxygen consumption in KCl-arrested dog hearts?
Myocardial oxygen consumption for basal metabolism in a working dog heart remains virtually constant regardless of ventricular volume and contractility.
Nozawa et al. (1988) studied this question.
