Fig. 1 Course of circulating histamine during and after CPB in eight patients with transient postoperative arrhythmias (interrupted line) and in 18 patients without arrhythmias (solid line). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. Asterisk indicates a significant difference (p < 0.02) between the two groups. Sample times as in Table II.
