  • Title: [Postmortem ion analysis of the myocardium in surgically correctible heart malformations].
    Author: Braselmann H, Meyer R.
    Journal: Zentralbl Allg Pathol; 1986; 132(4):289-92. PubMed ID: 3799088.
    Abstract:
    Commonly, children dying after operation on congenital cardiac malformation, show only minor histological changes in the myocardium. We have attempted to correlate the myocardial ion (Na+, K+, Ca2+) composition with the probable severity of hypoxia. Mean Ca2+ content has been plotted against the mean Na+/K+ ratio of every heart in the present study. A good correlation between these two parameters was demonstrated with full separation of controls and hearts with congenital malformations.
