Effect of oxygenated crystalloid cardioplegia on the functional and metabolic recovery of the isolated perfused rat heart

A Coetzee, J Kotze, J Louw and A Lochner

The use of an oxygenated crystalloid cardioplegic solution to improve myocardial preservation during elective cardiac arrest was evaluated with the isolated perfused rat heart used as a model. Experiments were conducted at 4 degrees C and 20 degrees C. The oxygen tension of the nonoxygenated and oxygenated cardioplegic solutions averaged 117 and 440 mm Hg, respectively. At 4 degrees C, the adenosine triphosphate content of hearts subjected to 120 minutes of oxygenated cardioplegia was significantly higher than that of the nonoxygenated cardioplegia group. However, functional recovery during reperfusion was similar for both groups. At 20 degrees C, the myocardial adenosine triphosphate concentration decreased at a significantly faster rate during ischemia in the group receiving nonoxygenated cardioplegia compared with the oxygenated cardioplegia group. Hearts subjected to 180 minutes of ischemia with oxygenated cardioplegia had a normal ultrastructural appearance whereas hearts subjected to 120 minutes of nonoxygenated cardioplegia showed severe ischemic damage. Myocardial functional recovery in the group receiving oxygenated cardioplegia exceeded that of the group receiving nonoxygenated cardioplegia. The use of myocardial adenosine triphosphate concentration at the end of the ischemic period to predict subsequent cardiac output, peak systolic pressure, and total myocardial work showed significant positive correlations.
