1 Intraoperative myocardial ischemia detection with laser-induced fluorescence 
Keith A. Horvath, MD, Kevin T. Schomacker, PhDa, C.Chin Lee, MD, Lawrence H. Cohn, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 107, Issue 1, Pages (January 1994) DOI: /uri:pii:S Copyright © 1994 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Laser-induced fluorescence apparatus. The pulsed nitrogen laser is optically coupled to a single 400 μm fiber that transmits the excitation signal to the heart and also returns the fluorescence signal to a polychromator. The fluorescence signal is then recorded with a gated intesified diode array/optical multichannel analyzer.

3 Fig. 2 NADH fluorescence in relation to the sequence of events after acute myocardial infarction (occlusion), cardioplegic arrest, cardiopulmonary bypass, and recovery. The black line corresponds to fluorescence in the ischemic area, the dark gray line corresponds to outside the ischemic area, and the light gray line corresponds to the border of the ischemic area.
