A STABLE CARDIOPLEGIC SOLUTION FOR CARDIAC SURGERY

摘要

The present invention is a cardioplegic solution that demonstrates better stability in pH, particulate matter formation and osmolality but at the same time demonstrates superior ability to preserve heart functions than currently available cardioplegic solutions. The cardioplegic solution comprises potassium (K+), magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl−), gluconate, acetate, sulfate (SO42−), THAM and mannitol dissolved in water.
