Postischemic myocardial depression is largely caused by a reperfusion injury which can be avoided almost completely by initial reoxygenation with hypocalcemic, hyperkalemic, alkalotic blood. Reperfusate modification resulted in postischemic myocardial performance comparable to that achieved in hearts receiving continuous coronary perfusion.
