With the use of[11C]acetate, positron emission tomography (PET) permits exploration of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and oxidative metabolism (MVo2) coupling. PET imaging was performed at rest and under dobutamine infusion in 8 normal subjects and 10 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with significant single-vessel left anterior descending (LAD) stenosis (> 70%) and normal regional left contractile function at rest. Resting MBF and MVo2 were similar in remote and LAD regions of normal subjects and patients. During dobutamine infusion, MBF and myocardial flow reserve were lower in LAD regions of patients compared with remote regions (MBF: 1.49 +/- 0.42 and 2.06 +/- 0.57 ml.g-1.min-1, P < 0.01; reserve: 1.73 +/- 0.59 and 2.14 +/- 0.47, P < 0.01, respectively), whereas MVo2 expressed as kmono (an index of MVo2) and metabolic reserve were similar (kmono: 0.106 +/- 0.021 vs. 0.107 +/- 0.017 min-1; reserve: 1.88 +/- 0.32 vs. 1.98 +/- 0.37, respectively). This is the first human study showing that, in normal contractile regions at rest but perfused by stenosed artery, a disparate rise in MVo2 relative to the rise in myocardial perfusion occurs during increased cardiac work induced by dobutamine. This flow-metabolism uncoupling probably reflects an increase in O2 extraction.
