  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD. EF Ejection Fraction, LA Left Atrial, LVEDD Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, LVESD Left ventricular end-systolic diameter. * p < 0.05 is statistically significant
  2. Group 1: Patients with propofol in the cardioplegia, Group 2: Patients with propofol injection in the aortic line, Group 3 (control group): Patients without propofol in the cardioplegia or aortic line
