(B) Left ventricular angiography revealed akinesis from the area of the apex to the left ventricle anterior wall. (C) Blood examination demonstrated normal levels of creatine kinase isozyme-MB and elevated levels of creatine kinase and troponin-I at the peak, 6 h after surgery. (D) 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine myocardial scintigraphy on postoperative day 8 shows decreased accumulation in the septum and increased accumulation in the base. POH – postoperative hour; POD – postoperative day.
