Abstract

The effect of ischemia and reperfusion on transverse relax ation (T~2~) of intracellular Na^+^ (Na^+^~i~) was measured with 5‐min 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~.
