The objective of this study was to determine the effects of repetitive ischemia on myocardial oxygen tension (pO 2 ), consumption, and delivery in crystalloid normoperfused (perfu‐sion pressure > 70 mmHg) and hypoperfused (perfusion pressure ˜50 mmHg) constant flow isolated rat hearts. EPR oximetry with lithium phthalocyanine was used to measure myocardial pO 2 . Baseline myocardial pO 2 (means ± SE) was 185 ± 13 mmHg (normoperfused) and 162 ± 14 mmHg (hypoperfused). Myocardial pO 2 fell to <1 mmHg during no‐flow ischemia. After recovery from repetitive ischemia, myocardial pO 2 and coronary resistance increased significantly in all hearts; oxygen consumption and left ventricle work decreased in normoperfused hearts, although not significantly compared with controls, and did not change significantly in hypoperfused hearts. Increased myocardial pO 2 in the normoperfused group may be due to decreased oxygen consumption and/or increased local delivery, while increased myocardial pO 2 in the hypoperfused hearts is due to increased local oxygen delivery.
