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.
