The University of Wisconsin storage solution (UW) (E.I. du Pont de Nemours, Wilmington, DE) has been successful in extending the storage period using some model systems of donor heart preservation for cardiac transplantation. The ability of UW to preserve human cardiac cell organelle (sarcoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and sarcolemmal) membrane composition (enzyme activity, protein, cholesterol and phospholipid content) was compared to St. Thomas's Hospital Solution (ST) and saline.
