Highlights
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is harmful to cardiovascular system and responsible to cardiac infarction, which is thought to be involved in the severity and outcome of ischemic heart disease [1]
In addition to cardiac I/R injury, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is usually companied with a reduction in hemoglobin level because of the colloid solution primed in CPB circuit and unexpected blood loss after heparinization
A clear cardioprotection is observed in the low-dose polymerized human placenta hemoglobin (PolyPHb) group, suggesting the in vivo cardiac effect of hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC) is highly correlated to its dosage
Summary
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is harmful to cardiovascular system and responsible to cardiac infarction, which is thought to be involved in the severity and outcome of ischemic heart disease [1]. Our previous work and other studies indicated that HBOCs are promising candidates to prevent many organs from I/R injury [4,5,6,7]. They allow delivery of more oxygen (O2) to hypoxic tissues due to their
