RESUMO

Myocardial substrate metabolism was studied in 13 subjects at the time of diagnostic cardiac catheterization by means of palmitic acid-14C infusion with arterial and coronary sinus sampling. Two subjects were considered free of cardiac pathology and all, with one exception, demonstrated lactate extraction across the portion of heart under study. Data for this single lactate-producing subject were treated separately.
