Regional myocardial oxygenation was assessed during partial and complete coronary artery occlusion using near infrared spectroscopy. In eight open-chest dogs, partial occlusions resulting in an approximately 42% decrease in left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) blood flow produced an approximately 21% decrease in tissue O2 stores (tissue oxyhemoglobin plus oxymyoglobin) and no change in the oxidation level of mitochondrial cytochrome aa3. An approximately 81% reduction in LAD blood flow produced nadir levels of tissue oxyhemoglobin plus oxymyoglobin, maximal levels of deoxyhemoglobin plus deoxymyoglobin, a decline in tissue blood volume, and an approximately 39% decrease in cytochrome aa3 oxidation level. These changes were associated with an approximately 52% decrease from the preischemic baseline in mean transmural myocardial blood flow, measured by radiolabeled microspheres, and an approximately 41% decrease in myocardial O2 consumption. Complete occlusion resulted in further decreases in myoc...
