The present study describes an experimental setup that enables continuous measurement of cellular volumes in isolated organs. The procedure is a modification of a recently reported method that uses multinuclear NMR measured by 59Co NMR of cobalticyanide and 1H NMR of water in isolated rat hearts at

Abstract
The effect of ischemia and reperfusion on transverse relax ation (T~2~) of intracellular Na^+^ (Na^+^~i~) was measured with 5βmin time resolution in isolated rat hearts. Na~i~ T~2~ relaxation was biexponential with 28 Β± 7% fast (T~2f~)and 72 Β± 7% slow (T~2s~) decay. This ratio was constant throughout the protocol. Dur ing 20 min of ischemia, Na~i~ T~2s~ increased from 18.9 Β± 2.7 ms to 26.4 Β± 1.1 ms (P < 0.001), whereas T~2f~ did not change significantly (3.1 Β± 1.8 versus 2.3 Β± 1.6 ms during control), and Na+~i~ increased from 9.0 Β± 1.0 to 19.5 Β± 1.0 mmol/liter (P < 0.001). T~2s~ and Na^+^~i~ declined again during reperfusion. Changes in T~2s~ relaxation correlated significantly (r = 0.73, P < 0.001) with the time course of Na^+^~i~.
