Study Summary
This trial is testing a new method to improve heart function and recovery after bypass surgery in patients with poor pre-operative heart function.
Who is the study for?

It's not open to those needing additional procedures, minimally invasive surgery, recent heart attack survivors, reoperation cases, or if their heart function has improved recently.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to improve recovery of heart metabolism and function after bypass surgery in patients with weak hearts using a method called Insulin Cardioplegia.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the specific side effects aren't listed here, generally speaking, interventions like Insulin Cardioplegia could potentially cause changes in blood sugar levels and may affect how the heart muscle responds post-surgery.
