NCT ID:
NCT00188994
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this investigation is to develop a means to improve the recovery of cardiac metabolism and ventricular function following coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in patients with poor preoperative ventricular function (e.g. ejection fraction \<40%).
Detailed Description:
Hypothesis
Insulin added to blood cardioplegia will improve the results of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft by reducing the incidence of low output syndrome (i.e., the requirement for inotropic or balloon pump assistance) in patients with a preoperative ejection fraction \<40%.
