Abstract: | To noninvasively determine absolute concentrations of hemoglobin (Hb) plus myoglobin (Mb) in cardiac tissue by means of regular near infrared (NIR) light diffuse reflectance measurements, a first derivative approach was applied. The method was developed to separately calculate oxygenated and deoxygenated Hb + Mb] as well as an effective pathlength, which NIR light passes through in the tissue between optodes. Applying a cotton wool-based phantom, which mimics muscle tissue, it was shown that the intensity of the pseudo-optical density first derivative depends linearly on both oxygenated and deoxygenated Hb concentration, thereby validating the Lambert-Beer law in the range of 0 to 0.25 mM tetrameric Hb. A high correlation (R = 0.995) was found between concentrations of Hb loaded onto the phantom and those determined spectrophotometrically, thereby verifying the first derivative method validity. The efficiency of the method was tested using in vivo pig hearts prior to and after ischemia initiated experimentally by left anterior descending artery branches occlusion. The results showed that the total Hb + Mb] was 0.9-1.2 mM heme, the average tissue oxygen saturation was approximately 70% (which reduced to nearly 0% after occlusion), and the NIR (700-965 nm) light pathlength was 2.3 mm (differential pathlength factor DPF] = 2.7-2.8) in a living heart tissue. |
