Abstract

Hypoxia completely abolishes the spontaneous contractile activity of cardiomyocytes. Once the original oxygenation is restored, the cells regain their functional activity, which exceeds the control level (particularly after a 2-h hypoxia). It can be assumed that the rapid restoration of cardiomyocyte functional activity is due to the preservation of a sufficiently high oxygen content and to the compensatory activation of glycolysis.
