Introduction. Perioperative myocardial injuries are one of the most frequent causes of
morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery, the most common etiology being the poor …

Background: The accurate identification of patients who have the potential to further
deteriorate after cardiac surgery is difficult. Elevated serum lactate level after cardiac surgery …

Background: Myocardial lactate assays have been established as a standard method to
compare various myocardial protection strategies. This study was designed to test whether …

Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of single dose insulin, given prior to
