Protective effects of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate postconditioning on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing valve replacement：a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
Abstract
Legend of Graphical Abstract: The figure describes the serum CK-MB concentrations in the FDP and NS groups at 4, 24, 48, and 72 h postoperatively.
OBJECTIVES
Pharmacological postconditioning can protect against myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury during cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. The aim of this study was to observe the protective effects of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate (FDP) postconditioning on myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with extracorporeal circulation.
METHODS
Patients undergoing elective mitral valve replacement and/or aortic valve replacement were divided into normal saline postconditioning group (NS group) and FDP postconditioning group (FDP group). The primary outcome was the plasma concentration of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB). The secondary outcomes were the plasma concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (α-HBDH) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), the spontaneous cardiac rhythm recovery profile, the extracorporeal circulation time and duration of surgery, ICU and postoperative hospitalization.
RESULTS
Forty patients were randomly assigned to receive intervention and included in the analysis. The serum concentrations of CK-MB, LDH, CK, cTnI, α-HBDH and hs-CRP at T1∼4 were lower in the FDP group than in the NS group (P < 0.001). Compared with the NS group, the dosage of dopamine…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.
