Changes of blood pressure (systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure [upper]) and heart rate [lower]. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed no significant differences between the 2 groups, but heart rate was significantly lower in the landiolol group. sBP, Systolic blood pressure; dBP, diastolic blood pressure; HR, heart rate.

Ischemia–reperfusion injury parameters: CK-MB on postoperative day 1, troponin-I on postoperative days 1 and 3, and human heart fatty acid-binding protein on postoperative day 1 (at the time of returning to ICU) were significantly lower in the landiolol group compared with the placebo group. CK-MB, Creatine kinase isoenzyme MB; H-FABP, human heart fatty acid-binding protein.
