It has been demonstrated that the V_3 cardiac myosin isozyme has a higher efficiency and consumes less oxygen in doing mechanical work than the V_1 myosin isozyme. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the functional and metabolic responses to ischemia following reperfusion of the hypothyroid heart, in which ventricular myosin isozyme is shifted from V_1 predominance to V_3 predominance . The heart was perfused by the working heart method for 15 min, and then global ischemia was induced for 10, 20 and 30 min with pacing at a rate of 320/min until cardiac cessation. The ischemic heart was reperfused for 30 min. The extent of recovery of pressure-rate product after reperfusion, following 20 min of ischemia in the hypothyroid heart, was higher than that in the control heart (p<0.01). The level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) declined more slowly in the hypothyroid heart than in the control heart. The level of ATP and energy charge potential in the hypothyroid heart reperfused after 20 min of ischemia were higher than those in the reperfused control heart (p<0.01, p<0.05, respectively), though they did not differ from each other in preischemia. There were no significant differences in the levels of tissue lactate between the 2 hearts during ischemia and reperfusion. The recovery rate of the coronary flow of the 2 hearts did not differ from each other significantly. These data suggest that there is a probability of the V_3 predominant heart re-covering from ischemic damage to the metabolism and cardiac function better than the V_1 predominant heart because the transformation of myocardium, due to an increase in V_3, into a slower but more efficiently working muscle results in conservation of tissue ATP during ischemia.
