    Answer: Because of reduced blood supply

    Explanation:

    The normal heart has low pyruvic acid to lactic acid ratio which shows the heart is working properly and has no problem in it.

    The heart with low pyruvic acid to lactic acid ratio shows that it has some respiratory problem and does not have adequate oxygen supply.

    Even the person having very low pyruvic acid to lactic acid ratio shows respiratory problem.
