since intermittent cardioplegic reperfusion during an ischemic period may reduce the ischemic stress of the heart at least by lowering myocardial temperature , we compared the post-ischemic recovery of the dog heart following cardioplegia and subsequent continuous ischemia of 1 x 300 minutes at 22 +/- 1 degree c ( model 1 ) and following cardioplegia and subsequent 3 x 100 minutes of ischemia at 17 +/- 1 degree c with intermittent 4-minute cardioplegic reperfusion every 100 minutes ( model 2 ) .
