Abstract 2529: Aprotinin Causes Dose Dependent and Differential Effects on Myocardial Contractility, Cytokine Release and Oxidative Stress with Ischemia-Reperfusion

Background: Cardiac surgery can cause left ventricular (LV) ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), the release of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and oxidative-stress causing increased myel...
