2. Fig 1
Myocardial temperature after the first cardioplegic infusion, at corresponding time points before repeated blood cardioplegia (CBC) and at declamping are shown. Values reported are mean ± standard error of the mean. § and * significant difference from previous value(s) within the Custodiol Bretschneider solution (HTK; filled symbols) group and the multidose cold oxygenated blood cardioplegia (CBC; open symbols) group; # significant difference between groups.

3. Fig 2
Cardiac index, ejection fraction (EF%), and slopes of preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW) and the end-systolic pressure-volume relations (ESPVR) are shown. Values reported are mean ± standard error of the mean. * significant difference from previous value within the multidose cold oxygenated blood cardioplegia group (open symbols); # significant difference between groups. (filled symbols = Custodiol Bretschneider HTK solution; pg = between groups probability; pi = interaction probability; pw = within groups probability.)

4. Fig 3
Peak systolic radial strain and tissue blood flow rate in left ventricular anterior wall 1, 2, and 3 hours after declamping are shown. Values reported are mean + standard error of the mean. * significant difference from value to the left within the multidose cold oxygenated blood cardioplegia (CBC; white bars) group; # significant difference between groups. (Epi, Mid, and Endo = subepicardial, midmyocardial, and subendocardial wall layers, respectively; HTK [black bars] = Custodiol Bretschneider solution.)

5. Fig 4
Serum troponin-T concentrations at baseline and 3 hours after declamping are shown. Values reported are mean + standard error of the mean. § and * significant difference from baseline within the Custodiol Bretschneider solution (HTK; black bars) group and multidose cold oxygenated blood cardioplegia (CBC; white bars) group; # significant difference between groups at corresponding level.
