Abstract
Many variables, including food ingestion, circulating hormone, and the cardiac work load, affect myocardial metabolism. Important changes in myocardial metabolism are associated with myocardial ischemia. The study of myocardial metabolism by means of different invasive and noninvasive techniques allows a better understanding of both cardiac physiology and pathophysiology in humans.
