Summary
This study tested whether the anesthetic sevoflurane protects the heart more than propofol during planned aortic valve replacement surgery. 82 adults having open-heart surgery were randomly assigned to receive one of the two drugs. The main goal was to measure troponin levels, a marker of heart stress, to see which approach causes less damage.
