Myocardial Protection and Cardioplegia 11B Flashcards
Four Main Objectives of Cardioplegia
•Immediate/sustained electromechanical arrest
•Rapid/sustained homogenous myocardial
cooling
•Maintenance of therapeutic additives in effective concentrations
•Periodic washout of metabolic inhibitors
Two Main Goals of Cardioplegia
I. Prevent myocardial ischemic damage (induction/maintenance)
II. Prevent/minimize injury (reperfusion)
3 Phases of Cardioplegia
I.Induction of arrest
II.Maintenance of arrest
III.Reperfusion
