[The effects of osmolarity in reperfusion solution upon myocardial protection].
The effects of several different osmolarity in reperfusion solution were studied. Experimental time course was as follows: 20 min working perfusion, 3 min cardioplegic infusion with St. Thomas Cardioplegic Solution (STS) followed by global ischemia for 33 min at 37.5 degrees C, 15 min early Langendorff reperfusion with different osmolarity by adding sucrose and 5 min late reperfusion with Krebs Henseleit bicarbonate buffer, followed by 20 min working perfusion. Percent recoveries of aortic flow showed that 290 mOsm/L in reperfusion solution possessed optimal protective properties with bell shaped dose response characteristics.
