BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling occurs in the remote normal region in the LVs after myocardial infarction (MI) and is closely involved in heart failure. METHODS: We assessed myocardial oxygen consumption using a clearance rate constant K (mono) for the time activity curves of (11)C-acetate in 15 patients with a prior anterior wall MI, 8 with a prior inferior wall MI, and 10 age-matched normal control subjects. LV end-systolic volume index (ESVI) was determined by echocardiography. RESULTS: The LVESVI was significantly greater in patients with an anterior and inferior MI than in control subjects. The heart rate systolic pressure product did not differ among the groups. K (mono) in the remote normal region in patients with an anterior MI was significantly less than that in the corresponding area in control subjects (0.055 +/- 0.005 vs 0.065 +/- 0.008 min(-1), P < .001). K (mono) in the remote normal region in those with an inferior MI was also significantly less compared with controls (0.054 +/- 0.007 vs 0.069 +/- 0.010 min(-1), P < .01). CONCLUSION: In patients with a prior MI and LV remodeling, myocardial oxidative metabolism is apparently impaired in the remote normal region where augmented myocardial energy production is needed against the increased end-systolic wall stress caused by LV dilatation.
