Coronary flow and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Coronary flow was similar after Bretschneider CCP or Calafiore BCP (3 A). Left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) rose during the ischemic period only in CCP hearts (3b).*: p < 0.05. Abbreviations: BCP = blood cardioplegia solution, CCP = crystalloid cardioplegia solution, LVEDP = left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure
