PG - 107-11 AB - Prolonged global ischemia followed by reperfusion during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery leads to a burst of oxygen free-radical generation and subsequent myocardial impairment. Blood samples were collected at different time periods from the right atrium of patients (n = 55) who underwent CABG surgery. Free-radical activity was measured by assays for thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS), mainly malondialdehyde (MDA), at zero minute (before aortic cross-clamp), one minute and 10 minutes after declamping i.e. reperfusion. There was a significant increase (p < 0.001) in the level of MDA at one minute of reperfusion which continued to be elevated up to 10 minutes. This increase was significantly correlated with aortic cross-clamp time (r = 0.525, p < 0.05). The activity of CPK and CPK-MB was raised by two fold (p < 0.001) after release of the clamp. Plasma Troponin-T level was estimated in 10 patients during CABG surgery and a significant increase (p < 0.01) was observed at one minute as well as 10 minutes of reperfusion which correlated well (r = 0.81, p < 0.01) with the severity of ischemia. The concomitant rise in TBARS (marker of free-radical activity), CPK, CPK-MB and Troponin-T (indicators of myocardial damage) on reperfusion implies that there is free-radical mediated damage to the cardiac membrane during CABG surgery.
