The superiority of blood over electrolyte cardioplegia in prevention of XXXX and conduction disturbances following open heart surgery.

@entity1 @entity1503 @entity299 @entity943 @entity2332
A total of 111 @entity1 underwent open heart surgery during which myocardial preservation was provided by systemic @entity2332 , @entity299 and cardioplegic solution ( @entity1503 or electrolyte cardioplegia). The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of the different types of cardioplegia correlated with the occurrence of postoperative @entity943 and conduction disturbances. These @entity1 were retrospectively divided into two groups according to the difference in the infused cardioplegic solutions. The group receiving @entity1503 ( @entity1503 ) comprised 69 @entity1 and the group receiving electrolyte cardioplegia (ECP) had 42 @entity1 . There were a longer ischemic time and bypass time in the @entity1503 group as compared with those of the ECP group (68.4 +/- 36.1 minutes v.s. 50.7 +/- 37.0 minutes, p less than 0.01; 93.7 +/- 48.9 minutes v.s. 65.5 +/- 39.1 minutes, p less than 0.005). However, the result shows a significantly lower incidence of @entity943 and conduction disturbances in the @entity1503 group (5.8%) as compared with the ECP group (21.4%; p = 0.013). There was no significant difference in incidence of @entity943 and conduction disturbances between the two groups when the ischemic time was less than 60 minutes (6.7% v.s. 17.2%, p greater than 0.05). On the other hand, there was a significant difference between the two groups when the ischemic time was a significant difference between the two groups when the ischemic time was longer than 60 minutes (5.1% v.s. 30.8%, p = 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
