Polarizing cardioplegic solution: state of the art
نویسندگان
چکیده
The meaning of the term “cardioplegia” is “lesion, attack, wound or blow”, very different to how it is most commonly understood in most heart centers, where it relates to cardiac protection. Thus, “cardioplegic solution” is better defined as a solution capable of inducing controlled cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest induced by cardioplegic solutions can occur by hyperpolarization, depolarization or by inhibiting the calcium channels of the myocardial fibers. This paper discusses hyperpolarizing cardioplegic solutions, which arrest the heart in the diastolic phase, thus decreasing the ATP depletion and improving the conditions of the heart to be reanimated at the end of the procedure. Descriptors: Cardioplegic solutions. Heart arrest, induced. Myocardium, metabolism. Resumo A exegese do termo cardioplegia remete aos significados de “lesão, golpe, ataque ou ferimento”, bem diferente, portanto, do sentido em que o termo é empregado na maior parte dos centros de cirurgia cardíaca do Brasil e do mundo, ou seja, como correspondendo à proteção miocárdica. Daí a melhor denominação de solução cardioplégica, para caracterizar as soluções empregadas com finalidade de promover a parada cardíaca controlada do coração. A parada cardíaca induzida por solução cardioplégica pode acontecer por hiperpolarização, despolarização ou com bloqueadores da bomba de cálcio. No presente trabalho, discorreremos sobre os principais agentes que promovem a parada cardíaca por hiperpolarização da membrana miocárdica. Com a solução hiperpolarizante, o coração pára no período diastólico, havendo uma redução ainda maior no seu gasto energético, o que propicia melhores condições ao coração quando este reinicia sua contração ao final do procedimento cirúrgico.

متن کاملEFFECT OF CYANIDE IN CARDIOPLEGIC SOLUTION ON ISOLATED RAT HEART FUNCTION
It has been known that cardiomyocytes possess a remarkable ability to downregulate their energy expenditure on restricted 02 supply. However it has also been speculated that an ability to suppress aerobic respiration and ATP utilization could be a protective response to prolonged hypoxia. Having the role of the cytochrome oxidase enzyme in mind, one can ask if its inhibition by using cyani...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated whether the novel St. Thomas' Hospital polarizing cardioplegic solution (STH-POL) with esmolol/adenosine/magnesium offers improved myocardial protection by reducing demands for high-energy phosphates during cardiac arrest compared to the depolarizing St. Thomas' Hospital cardioplegic solution No 2 (STH-2). METHODS Twenty anaesthetised pigs on tepid cardiopu...

OBJECTIVES Potassium-based depolarizing St Thomas' Hospital cardioplegic solution No 2 administered as intermittent, oxygenated blood is considered as a gold standard for myocardial protection during cardiac surgery. However, the alternative concept of polarizing arrest may have beneficial protective effects. We hypothesize that polarized arrest with esmolol/adenosine/magnesium (St Thomas' Hosp...

BACKGROUNDS On the basis of Custodiol preservation and cardioplegic solution a novel cardioplegic solution was developed to improve the postischemic cardiac and endothelial function. In this study, we investigated whether its reduced cytotoxicity and its ability to reduce reactive oxygen species generation during hypoxic condition have beneficial effects in a clinically relevant canine model of...
