Summary

Stable normotherm perfusion (37 deg C) for 20 minutes was followed by cooling to 14 deg C, 4 h perfusion at 14 deg and rewarming to 37 deg C, followed by 30 min of normotherm perfusion. After rewarming there was a significant reduction in mechanical performance and coronary flow. Tissue content of high-energy phosphates decreased and tissue water content increased. Membrane destabilization due to increase in phospholipid peroxidation cannot explain these results.
