The concentrations of lactic acid, pyruvic acid, glucose, and free fatty acids have been measured simultaneously in the blood from the pulmonary and brachial arteries at rest and during exercise in a group of patients with acquired heart disease. The arteriovenous differences in the concentration of lactate, pyruvate, and free fatty acid were such as could be attributed to chance. The average concentration of glucose was slightly but significantly higher in the brachial arterial blood than in the mixed venous blood.
