Abstract

Abstract Background Lactate is traditionally recognized as a by-product of anaerobic metabolism. However, lactate is a preferred oxidative substrate for stressed myocardium. Exogenous lactate infusion increases cardiac output (CO). The exact mechanism underlying this mechanism has yet to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the cardiovascular mechanisms underlying the acute haemodynamic effects of exogenous lactate infusion in an experimental model of human-sized pigs. Methods In this randomised, blinded crossover study in eight 60-kg-pigs, the pigs received infusions with one molar sodium lactate and a control infusion of tonicity matched hypertonic saline in random order. We measured CO and pulmonary pressures using a pulmonary artery catheter. A pressure–volume admittance catheter in the left ventricle was used to measure contractility, afterload, preload and work-related parameters. Results Lactate infusion increased circulating lactate levels by 9.9 mmol/L (95% confidence interval (CI) 9.1 to 11.0) and CO by 2.0 L/min (95% CI 1.2 to 2.7). Afterload decreased as arterial elastance fell by  -1.0 mmHg/ml (95% CI  -2.0 to  -0.1) and systemic vascular resistance decreased by  -548 dynes/s/cm5 (95% CI  -261 to  -835). Mixed venous saturation increased by 11 percentage points (95% CI 6 to 16), whereas ejection fraction increased by 16.0 percentage points (95% CI 1.1 to 32.0) and heart rate by 21 bpm (95% CI 8 to 33). No significant changes in contractility nor preload were observed. Conclusion Lactate infusion increased cardiac output by increasing heart rate and lowering afterload. No differences were observed in left ventricular contractility or preload. Lactate holds potential as a treatment in situations with lowered CO and should be investigated in future clinical studies.
