To assess the effects of moderate potassium cardioplegia (37 mEq/l KCI) on the severity of myocardial ischemia during arrest and on post arrest ventricular function, 32 isolated, isovolumic feline hearts were studied before, during and I hour after ischemic arrest. Normothermia (37°C) was maintained in 16 hearts, eight without KCI and eight with KCI. Hypothermia (27°C) was maintained in the rem...
