Fig. 2. Correlative relationship between pericardial fluid IMA
and Total thiol levels (r= -0.552, p < 0.001) .
The results of the Pearson-Spearman correlation analysis investigating
the association between pericardial fluid IMA, native thiol, total
thiol, and disulfide bonds and serum preop-postop parameters are shown
in Table 4. There was no correlation between preop and postop
pericardial fluid levels.
