Figure 4From: Cardioplegia at subnormothermia facilitates rapid functional resuscitation of hearts preserved in SOMAH for transplants Release of creatine kinase and cardiac troponin-I upon reperfusion. CK (A), AST (B) and cTnI (C) levels were determined in perfusate, 5 min and 90 min (peak performance) after start of reperfusion of 4 and 21°C cardioplegia hearts; n = 5 for each SOMAH group. *Significant change from 5 minutes (p <0.05); * Significantly different from 4°C cardioplegia group hearts at similar time point.Back to article page
