Abstract

The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass procedures on the blood components were studied through the measurements of several serum enzymes, SGOT, SGPT, CPK and LDH with its isozymes in the patients who had surgery for their heart diseases. They wre 85 patients: 40 Males and 45 Females. Their ages ranged widely between one and fifty-six. They were divided into 5 groups: Group I.patent ductus arteriosus without extracorporeal circulation, Group II-atrial septal defect, Group III-ventricular septal defect, Group IV-tetralogy of Fallot, and Group V-valve replacement. Generally serum enzymes revealed the increased values after surgery and the tendency returning toward preoperative levels. With the high total serum LDH levels seen uniformly after operation which persisted long in patients with replaced valves, the changes of LDH-isozymes were further analyzed. The isozymes, especially LDI and LDs increased their activities postoperatively, and the other fractions varied little. And $LD_1$/$LD_2$ ratios also showed similar rises and falls while the elevated values lasted longer in the patients with cardiac valve replacement. The significant values of LDH-isozymes in predicting the hemolysis occuring after extracorporeal circulation and in following the patients whose valves were replaced have been further discussed with the special stress placed on the $LD_1$/$LD_2$ratios.
