BACKGROUND: Capitalizing on mechanoenergetic coupling, we investigated whether strain echocardiography can noninvasively estimate the ratio of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a marker of energetic status during acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. METHODS: Twenty-eight pigs were divided into 7 groups (1 baseline, 4 ischemic, and 2 reperfusion). Ischemia was induced by left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion. Longitudinal systolic lengthening (SL) and postsystolic shortening (PSS) strain were measured by echocardiography. The ATP/ADP ratio was obtained from myocardial biopsies in the ischemic and control regions. RESULTS: SL and PSS strain and the ATP/ADP ratio progressively decreased (P < .05) with increased duration (12, 40, 120, and 200 minutes) of ischemia. A mathematical formula (ATP/ADP = -0.97 + 0.25 x PSS strain + 0.20 x SL strain) estimated best the ATP/ADP ratio (r = 0.94, P < .05). Reperfusion after 12 but not after 120 minutes of ischemia significantly improved the ATP/ADP ratio and decreased SL and PSS strain. CONCLUSIONS: Strain echocardiography closely reflected changes and enabled the noninvasive estimation of the ATP/ADP ratio. A higher ATP/ADP ratio is associated with functional improvement after reperfusion.
