Abstrakt: In this chapter we have chosen to focus our attention on some of the recent developments in heart preservation (both research and clinical) that we believe require additional investigation, and thus we hope to reveal new insights into the broad field of hypothermic myocardial protection. We will also discuss various interventions that influence the return of normal myocardial function at the end of the period of hypothermic heart storage. There are many unanswered questions that will continue to challenge basic research workers, including the notion that a universal preservation solution is possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
