Heart muscle viability following hypoxia: protective effect of acidosis
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|June 22, 1973
Abstract:
The mechanical performance of hypoxic heart muscle is further depressed by an acid pH. In contrast to preparations at normal or alkaline pH. however, hypoxic preparations at acid pH do not develop contracture and exhibit full recovery of mechanical activity upon reoxygenation.
