Fig. 1 Myocardial oxygen extraction (Ox.extr.) calculated as percent of arterial oxygen content (means ± SEM) during cold and warm blood cardioplegia (BCP), and 30 minutes after declamping of the aorta (REP +30 min). Filled circles represent α-ketoglutarate–treated patients and open circles represent control patients. Significance level of the group factor (two-way analysis of variance) during cardioplegia is given, and significance level according to the Mann-Whitney U test (30 minutes after declamping of the aorta). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (97) )

Fig. 2 Arterial creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK MB; means ± SEM) up to 4 hours after declamping of the ascending aorta (REP). Filled circles represent α-ketoglutarate–treated patients and open circles represent control patients. Significance level of the group factor is given (two-way analysis of variance). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (97) )

Fig. 3 Arterial troponin T (TNT; means ± SEM) up to 4 hours after declamping of the ascending aorta (REP). Filled circles represent α-ketoglutarate–treated patients and open circles represent control patients. Significance level of the group factor is given (two-way analysis of variance).
