Comparison of Haemodynamics and Myocardial Injury Markers Under Desflurane vs. Proposal Anesthesia for Off-Pump Coronary Surgery. A Prospective Randomised Trial
Our study hypothesis was that desflurane-fentanyl anaesthesia could decrease myocardial injury markers and improve haemodynamics compared to propofol-fentanyl in patients undergoing off-pump coronary surgery.
Myocardial Protection with Prophylactic Oral Metoprolol During Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery: Evaluation by Troponin I
This study determined if oral administration of prophylactic metoprolol reduces the release of cardiac troponin I in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, not complicated by new Q waves.
