Summary
Adenosine has been proved to be an important mediator of myocardial protection induced by
ischemic preconditioning. The hypothesis of this study is that adenosine preconditioning can
provide additional myocardial protection in the setting of pediatric open heart surgery with
cardioplegia and cardiopulmonary bypass.
