Effect of temperature of cardioplegic solution
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1978 This study tests the hypothesis that the efficacy of cardioplegic solution depends upon its chemical constituents rather than on its temperature alone. A standard preparation of right heart bypass in the dog was utilized. Left ventricular function curves were inscribed before and after 1 hour of aortic cross-clamping.
