Abstract

An MR line scan protocol has been used to measure relaxation parameters (T~1~ and T~2~) in isolated, blood perfused rabbit hearts at various blood oxygenations. Hearts were retro‐gradely perfused at 37°C with a cardioplegic solution (modified St. Thomas' solution) containing sheep red blood cells and adenosine (1 m__M__) to maximally vasodilate the coronary vascular bed. Arresting the hearts eliminated motion complications and minimized arteriovenous oxygenation differences. The authors have found that under conditions of stable flow, there is a strong correlation between T~2~ in myocardial septa and hemoglobin (Hb) saturation, while tissue T~1~ is virtually independent of blood oxygenation. These effects are believed to be due to the paramagnetic agent deoxyhemoglobin.

## Abstract Each of six perfused rat hearts was subjected to 30 min of hypoxia followed by 60 min of reoxygenation. Inversion‐recovery data on the intracellular Na NMR signal, differentiated by a shift reagent, 6 m__M__ Dy(PPP)~2~, were obtained every 5 min, and __T__~1~ values were calculated. The
