Cardioplegia versus intermittent ischaemic arrest in coronary bypass surgery. 1982

J R Pepper, and E Lockey, and S Cankovic-Darracott, and M V Braimbridge

No definitive method of myocardial preservation has been established and conclusions based on experimental data may not be applicable to patients with coronary artery disease. Fifty patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting were randomly assigned to one of two groups for myocardial preservation. In group A cold cardioplegia with external cardiac cooling was used and in group B ischaemic arrest with mild systemic cooling to 32 degrees C. Myocardial preservation was assessed by analysis of enzymes specific to the heart, left ventricular biopsy, and electrocardiography. Equal protection of the myocardium was provided in both groups but the mean cross-clamp time in group A was significantly longer than in group B. This implies that cardioplegia confers greater protection than intermittent ischaemic arrest.

D007036 Hypothermia, Induced Abnormally low BODY TEMPERATURE that is intentionally induced in warm-blooded animals by artificial means. In humans, mild or moderate hypothermia has been used to reduce tissue damages, particularly after cardiac or spinal cord injuries and during subsequent surgeries.

D001718 Birefringence The property of nonisotropic media, such as crystals, whereby a single incident beam of light traverses the medium as two beams, each plane-polarized, the planes being at right angles to each other.

D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
