The tehniques of myocardial protection in cardiac surgery are innumerable. In this trial we tried to compare two established cardioplegic strategies in elective on-pump surgery (Intermittent antegrade warm blood cardioplegia--Calafiore--) and Kirsch-Solution with Haes). We took the data from our medical documentaton for 115 patients who underwent elective on-pump surgery in time period from February 2005 to July 2005.
