Ultra-short-acting cardioselective beta-blockade attenuates postischemic cardiac dysfunction in the isolated rat heart

Abstract

Landiolol hydrochloride has the potential to enhance postischemic cardiac function after the warm cardioplegic arrest. The optimal concentration for maximum postischemic functional recovery was 2.5 mmol/l, and recoveries of aortic flow and heart rate decreased in hearts receiving 5 mmol/l or more.
