BACKGROUND: To test whether @entity63 ( @entity63 ) is able to protect the myocardium in recently unstable CABG @entity1 . METHODS:                 <AbstractText Label="EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN" NlmCategory="METHODS">prospective, randomised, controlled clinical study. SETTING: University Hospital. @entity1 : Forty CABG @entity1 with recent unstable @entity951 were randomised into an @entity63 group (n=20) and a control group (n=20). Subgroup was divided based on the time of the most recent @entity63 onset before the operation. INTERVENTION: The @entity63 group was preconditioned with 2 cycles of 2-min @entity63 followed by 3-min reperfusion before cross clamping. MEASURES: Hemodynamic data were monitored till the 1st POD. Biochemical markers were measured till the 2nd POD. RESULTS: There were no differences in cardiac index (Cl) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) in @entity1 experiencing @entity951 within 48 hours prior to operation. The percentage changes in CI and RVEF at 1 hour after declamping were significantly better in the @entity63 group in @entity1 experienced @entity951 within 48-72 hours (106% vs 88% of baseline, p=0.027 and 103% vs 81% of baseline, p=0.023). No difference in postoperative @entity6949 ( @entity6949 ) and CK-MB was found between the @entity63 and controls in either subgroup. CONCLUSIONS: @entity63 has a beneficial effect on global and right ventricular hemodynamic functional recovery in unstable CABG @entity1 experiencing @entity951 within 48-72 hours prior to the operation. However, @entity63 has no additional protective effects in unstable CABG @entity1 who experience @entity951 within 48 hours.
