The purpose of the present study was to determine whether an ischemic index, expressed as the product of flow deprivation (FD) and the duration of occlusion (T), FD .times. T, correlated with biochemical and early morphologic alterations of the subendocardial myocardium and could predict ultimate development of irreversible injury after coronary reperfusion. Myocardial biopsy specimens for measurement of ATP and other purines and for ultrastructure studies were obtained in vivo during coronary occlusion in a canine model and were considered relative to development of necrosis after coronary reperfusion. FD .times. T correlated negatively with ATP content [ATP, nmol/mg of cardiac protein = 23.6 - 0.24(FD .times. T) + 0.0007(FD .times. T)2; r = -0.81] and with a semiquantitative early histologic index of damage (r = 0.70). Values of (FD .times. T) < 18 were associated with reversible injury, i.e., complete salvage after coronary reperfusion. (FX .times. T) > 18 was associated with varying degrees of necrosis; necrosis was severe (78 .+-. 12% of subendocardial biopsy specimens) when ATP < 10 nmol/mg of protein and total purine pool was decreased by 50%. FD .times. T correlated with the eventual percentage of subendocardial necrosis (r = 0.85). Accordingly, as an index of ischemic injury, FD .times. T may be useful in assessing whether ischemic myocardial tissue will benefit from early restoration of blood flow to the ischemic area.
