Abstract
Low-dose L-arginine preserves myocardial and endothelial function and decreases endothelial injury when it is used as a supplement to intermittent donor blood perfusion. In contrast, high-dose L-arginine resulted in severe endothelial injury and an inability to recover ventricular function after 5 hours of global ischemia.
