BMJ Open, 2020 Introduction Surgical repair of congenital heart defects often requires the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cardioplegic arrest. Cardioplegia is used during cardiac surgery requiring CPB to keep the heart still and to reduce myocardial damage as ...

Warm blood cardioplegia in high risk patients [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1997 Despite overall good clinical results, cardiac surgery in high risk patients, such as those with poor left ventricular function or heavily hypertrophied myocardium, is still challenging. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of warm blood cardioplegia (WBC) in these two subgroups of patients.Fifty-two patients, with an ejection fraction less ...

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 294, Issue 3, Page 347-357, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Optogenetics could offer a solution to the current lack of an ambulatory method for the rapid automated cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), but key translational aspects remain to be studied. Objective To investigate whether optogenetic cardioversion of AF is effective in the aged heart and whether sufficient light penetrates

Physiological Reports, Volume 11, Issue 5, March 2023., 2023 Isolated perfused kidney (IPK) models have been invaluable preclinical tools. However, they are still not without their own limitations. We believe the methodology described in this manuscript to be an improvement on pre‐existing IPK models that better recreates human use conditions while showing organ viability.

Mechanisms of oxidative stress and myocardial protection during open-heart surgery
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2015 Cold heart protection via cardioplegia administration, limits the amount of oxygen demand. Systemic normothermia with warm cardioplegia was introduced due to the abundance of detrimental effects of hypothermia.
