Abstract
- Compensatory hyperfunction of the left ventricle after ligating off part of its muscle results in cardiac insufficiency, followed by a relatively stable compensation. The glycogen content of the working part of the myocardium of the left ventricle fell to a low level soon after ligation, and was still at this level a month after operation. This is evidence of diminution in the potential energy resources of the heart. The lactic and pyruvic acid contents did not vary substantially.
