Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of cold blood cardioplegia enriched with potassium-magnesium aspartate during coronary artery bypass grafting.
The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of enriched with potassium-magnesium aspartate cold-blood cardioplegia on early reperfusion injury and postoperative arrhythmias in patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), using measurements of cardiac troponin I (CTnI), hemodynamic indexes and clinical parameters. ⋯ Cold blood cardioplegia enriched with potassium-magnesium aspartate is beneficial on reducing reperfusion injury.
