To elucidate the mechanism of contractile dysfunction in postischemic ("stunned") myocardium, time-resolved measurements of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were made using gated 19F nuclear magnetic resonance in seven perfused ferret hearts loaded with the fluorinated Ca2+ indicator 5F-BAPTA. Left ventricular developed pressure decreased to 65 .+-. 3% (mean .+-. SEM) of control after 15 minutes of global ischemia at 37.degree. C. In stunned myocardium, diastolic [Ca2+]i (0.24 .+-. 0.03 .mu.M) was not changed from control (0.18 .+-. 0.03 .mu.M, p > 0.10), but peak [Ca2+]i (1.03 .+-. 0.13 .mu.M) was paradoxically higher than that in control (0.61 .+-. 0.06 .mu.M, p < 0.02). The slope of the relation between developed pressure and Ca2+ transient amplitude in stunned myocardium was significantly lower than that in control (p < 0.05), even after normalization by maximal Ca2+-activated pressure. These results indicate that contractile failure in stunned myocardium is due to a pressure in the myofilament sensitivity to Ca2+ as well as to the previously identified decrease in maximal Ca2+-activated force; failure of activator Ca2+ delivery cannot be implicated. The increase in the amplitude of Ca2+ transients would require that more ATP be spent in Ca2+ sequestration; thus, decreased efficiency of energy utilization in stunned myocardium would result.
