In this study, we aimed to compare the myocardial protective effects of high dose ascorbic
acid with the effects obtained by adding diltiazem to high dose ascorbic acid. We studied 30 …

The protective effects of high-dose ascorbic acid (250 mg/kg) on the myocardium were
observed in 85 patients undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB). The changes in sorum …

Background The study was done to project the important role of the anti-inflammatory and
anti–oxidant properties of Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in reducing the incidence of atrial …

Observations were made on the changes in platelets, bleeding time and clot retraction and
