↑ ability for gluconeogenesis 
↑ ability to use ADP & AMP as 
   energy. 
↑ Intracellular buffering ability
38
Q

The best positive thing of having Anaerobic Metabolism allow the Neonatal Heart to have what ?

A

Increased ability to tolerate ischemia

39
Q

As the Neonatal heart matures, what happens?

A

Switches to Fat metabolism and looses its ischemic tolerance

40
Q

What are the two primary components of myocardial tissue injury during reperfusion ?

A

Ca2+ Paradox

Oxygen radical production

41
Q

How does the Neonatal Heart protects itself from Ca2+ Paradox injury during reperfusion ?

A
  • Decreased SR Ca2+ stores

- Acid sensitive ATPases inactivate with ↓ pH, which preserves ATP and metabolism during intracellular acidosis.

42
Q

Immature hearts are at great risk in comparison to neonatal hearts in what way?

A

Immature hearts have more mature SR and therefore have a greater risk for Ca2+ Paradox.

43
Q
