OBJECTIVES Our goal was to study metabolic energy stores and lactate content in chronic reversibly and irreversibly dysfunctional myocardium. BACKGROUND It is unknown whether metabolism is deranged in chronic reversibly and irreversibly dysfunctional myocardium in humans. Semiquantitative histologic...
