This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
During coronary artery bypass surgery, doctors use special solutions to protect your heart while it's being operated on. This trial compares Del Nido cardioplegia with blood cardioplegia—two different solutions used for this protection. Researchers will use advanced heart imaging (MRI) to see which solution helps your heart recover better after surgery.
Doctors want to know which heart-protection solution works best during bypass surgery. While previous studies have looked at this question using blood tests and basic heart imaging, no one has yet used advanced MRI imaging to compare these two methods in detail.

You would undergo your scheduled bypass surgery as planned, but your surgical team would use one of the two heart-protection solutions being compared in this study. After surgery, you would have an MRI scan of your heart to measure how well your heart function and tissue have recovered. The study involves about 60 total patients, with roughly 30 receiving each type of heart protection.
