Cardiac maximal stroke work index in group 1 was superior to group 2. After reperfusion, the mitochondria in group 1 demonstrated recovery, and myocytes were intact. In contrast, myocardial contraction bands and myocytolysis were observed in group 2, as well as broken mitochondrial membranes and calcium deposition in mitochondria.

Only 2 other countries have national cardiac surgery databases. In the U.S.A., the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) has established a large voluntary database which does not, however, include complete national statistics. The STS uses Bayesian analysis to predict operative risk. A similar system in the U.K. has been useful for predicting surgical morbidity and mortality. The most recent NHF report, published in August 1993, covers surgical procedures performed in 1991. In that year, 16,688 procedures were performed, a 10.3% increase over the previous year. Operative mortality was 2.6%. Most procedures were coronary artery bypass grafts (69.4% or 11,586 procedures). Although the NHF registry is a valuable resource, it may be necessary to expand this national database so that national results can be analysed in greater detail.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101219,"journal":{"name":"The Asia Pacific Journal of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 86-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/1324-2881(94)90099-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81631647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
