ABSTRACT
Myocardial injury was studied in 104 patients undergoing coronary artery grafting without cold chemical cardioplegia using the quantity of the isoenzyme MB of the creatine kinase liberated as an indicator. This method of evaluation, which is said to permit comparison of different techniques of myocardial protection, allowed us to consider the relative importance of several factors believed to have an influence on intraoperative myocardial injury. Indices of significance were duration of symptoms before operation, presence of chronic arterial hypertension, and the type of antiangina treatment employed. Other operative factors included severity of the arterial lesions, number of anastomoses performed, and duration of extracorporeal circulation and of aortic cross-clamping.
