Adequate distribution of warm cardioplegic solution [PDF]
Seventy-five patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were randomized to receive warm antegrade (N = 25), warm retrograde (N = 25), or a combination of warm antegrade and retrograde (N = 25) delivery of blood cardioplegic solution. Myocardial oxygen utilization, lactate and acid metabolism, and adenine nucleotides and their degradation ...

Modulation of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in the Isolated Guinea Pig Beating Heart by Potassium and Lidocaine Cardioplegia: Implications for Cardioprotection [PDF]
Mitochondria are damaged by cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury but can contribute to cardioprotection. We tested if hyperkalemic cardioplegia (CP) and lidocaine (LID) differently modulate mitochondrial (m) bioenergetics and protect hearts against ...
