The Effect of L-Carnitine On Myocardial Function After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Abstract

Carnitine is an essential cofactor for fatty acid (FA) metabolism and the predominant source of ATP in the normal aerobic heart. During myocardial ischemia, FA metabolism is impaired and tissue carnitine levels are depleted. Since the heart cannot synthesize carnitine, carnitine could play an important role for myocardıal functıon during reperfusion. In this study we aimed to investigate the effects of Lcarnitine enriched blood cardioplegia on myocardial tissue and protective effect on myocardial repefusion injury. From April 2005 to June 2005 twenty patients were selected who underwent elective coronary artery bypass surgery Hacettepe University Department of Cardiovascular Surgery. Patients were divided into two groups. Group I (controlled group) included 10 patients and Grup II (study group) included 10 patients in group I, with standart cold blood cardioplegia was used and in group II, L-carnitine enriched cold blood was use. The patient were assessed for cardiac output, cardiac index, left and right cardiac work. Cardiac output (CO) was found to be significantly high in the study group at the postoperative 1st hour control group; 4,94 ± 0.09 L/min and study group 5.32 ± 0,43 L/min; p
