Experiments on dogs showed that energostim, a directly acting antihypoxant, injected 15 min after occlusion of the upper one-third of the left descending branch of the interventricular coronary artery produced a pronounced cardioprotective effect. The effect was confirmed by electron microscopy (evaluation the necrotic focus), biochemical tests of the heart and blood, and changes in intracardiac hemodynamics (recovery of systolic and diastolic functions). The cardioprotective effect of energostim greatly surpasses that of routine therapy applied during acute myocardium infarction.

This is explained by additional decline in functional activity of all three systems of cardiomyocyte responsible for contraction-relaxation. In particular, by a sharp fall of ATP and CP content in the myocardium, a 400% decrease in myofibril power, 200% reduction in efficiency of contraction and marked deterioration of calcium transport.

Pumping capacity of the heart returns to normal after normalization of functional activity of three systems of cardiomyocyte responsible for contraction-relaxation: contractile proteins, energy supply and calcium transport. The key process is refracterin-related reestablishment of normal content and proportion of adenyl nucleotides and creatininephosphate and regulation role of phosphorylation and energy of metabolic processes in the cells and their interaction.
