title: Enhanced myocardial protection from preoperative carbohydrate infusion in addition to maintained beta-blockade.
abstract: In this study, 28 patients with maintained beta-blockade underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. Twelve of these patients, who received preoperative infusion of carbohydrate-phosphate solution, had a smaller cumulated leakage of CK-B compared to the others, suggesting reduced myocardial damage.
