ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to methods and cardioplegic solutions for improving cardiac function and recovery of a mammal after surgical procedures which arrest the heart. In particular the present invention provides methods of improving recovery of a mammal after surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass when the heart of the mammal is subjected to cardioplegia which include infusing the mammal's heart for a sufficient time at the onset of cardioplegia with a cardioplegic solution which contains an sufficient amount of a zinc-ligand conjugate.
