| M1-1 myocardial temperature, °C | 16.6 ± 3.6 | 27.3 ± 1.6 | <0.001†† |
Values are mean ± SD. †highly significant, ††very highly significant. Body temperature 0: body temperature before cardioplegia. Body temperature 1: body temperature after cardioplegia. M0: myocardial temperature before cardioplegia. M0-1: myocardial temperature after the first cardioplegia. M1: myocardial temperature before second cardioplegia. M1-1: myocardial temperature after second cardioplegia.
