description <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p><div><p class="abstract"><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Some pharmacological preconditioning approaches are utilized as an effective adjunct to myocardial protection, particularly following cardiac procedures. The current study addressed the potential clinical implications and protective effects of isoflurane as an anesthetic most applicable on postoperative myocardial function measured by cardiac biomarkers.</p> <p class="abstract"><strong>METHODS:</strong> 46 patients were included in the study. In 23 of them, preconditioning was elicited after the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass via a 5-minute exposure to isoflurane (2.5 minimum alveolar concentration), followed by a 10-minute washout before aortic cross clamping and cardioplegic arrest. 23 case-matched control patients underwent an equivalent period <br /> (15 minutes) of pre-arrest isoflurane-free bypass.
