Left ventricular dysfunction after two hours of polarizing or depolarizing cardioplegic arrest in a porcine model.

CONCLUSION: Myocardial protection for two hours of polarizing cardioplegic arrest with STH-POL in oxygenated blood is non-inferior compared to STH-2 blood cardioplegia. STH-POL cardioplegia alleviates the mismatch between myocardial function and perfusion after weaning from CPB. PMID: 30058944 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
