Controlled cardiac reoxygenation does not improve myocardial function following global myocardial ischemia [PDF]
BackgroundIt has been shown that abrupt re-exposure of ischemic myocardium to oxygen can lead to increased peroxidative damage to myocytes (oxygen paradox).

Oxygenation of cardioplegic solutions
Oxygenation of crystalloid cardioplegic solutions is beneficial, yet bicarbonate-containing solutions equilibrated with 100% oxygen become highly alkaline as carbon dioxide is released. In the isolated perfused rat heart fitted with an intraventricular balloon, we recently observed a sustained contraction related to infusion of cardioplegic solution ...

Cardioplexol, a new cardioplegic solution for elective CABG [PDF]
Background Cardioplexol (Swiss Cardio Technologies) is a hyperkalemic, low-dose, single-shot cardioplegic solution which offers immediate asystole of the heart, maintenance up to 90 minutes and immediate reversal of asystole after release of cross clamp.

Background Congenital heart disease is a leading cause of death in newborns and infants. The feasibility of fetal cardiac surgery is linked to extracorporeal circulation (ECC); therefore, cardioplegic solutions need to be effective and long-lasting ...

Quinaprilat during cardioplegic arrest in the rabbit to prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury [PDF]
Objectives: This study evaluated intracardiac angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition as an adjuvant to cardioplegia and examined its effects on hemodynamic, metabolic, and ultrastructural postischemic outcomes.

Intermittent antegrade warm cardioplegia reduces oxidative stress and improves metabolism of the ischemic-reperfused human myocardium [PDF]
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of intermittent antegrade warm blood cardioplegia and intermittent antegrade cold blood cardioplegia on myocardial metabolism and free radical generation of the ischemic-reperfused human myocardium.
