Myocardial lactate assays have been established as a standard method to compare various myocardial protection strategies. This study was designed to test whether coronary sinus (CS) lactates, pyruvate and lactate-pyruvate (LP) ratio correlates with myocardial dysfunction and predict postoperative outcomes.
