The aim of our study was to compare the levels of myocardial damage markers and the state of the oxygen budget in patients with mitral valve insufficiency during its surgical correction, depending on the method of cardioprotection. We examined 85 patients with mitral valve insufficiency who underwent mitral valve replacement (MVR) surgery and anesthetic management according to the traditional method, the difference was only in the method of cardioprotection. In the I group (n=40) crystalloid cardioplegia (Bernsteinder's solution) was used, in the II group (n=45) - electrical fibrillation of the heart and intermittent clamping of the aorta.
