Objective: We have previously demonstrated that myocardium is capable of down-regulating its O-2 requirements and thus avoiding ischaemia when O-2 supply is limited. The present study tested the hypothesis that endogenous adenosine produced this protective response when O-2 supply was decreased by moderate coronary hypoperfusion or moderate coronary hypoxaemia. Methods: In anaesthetised dogs, hearts were exposed by left thoracotomy and instrumented for measuring intraventricular pressure and regional myocardial segment length. The left anterior descending coronary artery was isolated, cannulated, and extracorporeally perfused. Coronary O-2 supply was moderately reduced by lowering coronary perfusion pressure from 100 to 60 mmHg or by lowering coronary arterial O-2 content by 50%. Hearts were treated with intracoronary infusions of adenosine, adenosine deaminase to degrade endogenous adenosine or with erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)-adenine HCl (EHNA) to inhibit adenosine degradation by endogenous adenosine deaminase, during beta-adrenergic stimulation with isoprenaline. Cardiac power in the left anterior descending perfusion territory was indexed by the product of heart rate left ventricular peak systolic pressure percent systolic segment shortening. O-2 utilisation efficiency was taken as the ratio of power index/myocardial O-2 consumption. Results: Prior to a reduction in O-2 supply, isoprenaline did not alter O-2 utilisation efficiency. Intracoronary adenosine increased O-2 utilisation efficiency during isoprenaline stimulation by 23% (P < 0.05). EHNA slightly increased O-2 utilisation efficiency during isoprenaline stimulation (10%; P < 0.05); adenosine deaminase was without effect. When coronary perfusion pressure was decreased, adenosine deaminase sharply lowered cardiac power and O-2 utilisation efficiency during isoprenaline stimulation, whereas EHNA augmented isoprenaline-enhanced power and increased efficiency. During hypoxaemia, adenosine deaminase lowered regional power bur not efficiency during isoprenaline infusion; EHNA did not affect power but lowered O-2 consumption and increased efficiency. Myocardial lactate extraction and contractile function during isoprenaline stimulation were not attenuated by reduced O-2 supply, indicating that myocardial ischaemia did not occur under these conditions. Conclusion: Endogenous adenosine increases myocardial O-2 utilisation efficiency during beta-adrenergic stimulation, and thus helps avert ischaemia when myocardial O-2 supply is reduced.
