Vf. Yakovlev et al., EVALUATION OF MYOCARDIAL-FUNCTION AND MET ABOLISM IN PATIENTS DURING AORTOCORONARY BYPASS-SURGERY AFTER HYPOXIA-REOXYGENATION, Kardiologia, 32(6), 1992, pp. 11-14
The myocardial function and metabolism were assessed in 12 patients wi
th coronary heart disease intraoperatively during aortocoronary bypass
surgery. The antioxidative properties of the blood of the heart were
found to become lower along with activated peroxidation after the majo
r stage of an arrested heart operation, that correlated with depressed
myocardial function.
