Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury affects not only the cardiomyocyte compartment but also all other cellular compartments, and the coronary circulation has a central role in it. Acute myocardial infarction most often arises from atherosclerotic plaque rupture/erosion with superimposed thrombosis (type 1 myocardial infarction). However, in the absence of coronary atherosclerosis, coronary v...

AIMS Remote ischaemic conditioning as an adjunct to primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction increases myocardial salvage. We investigated the effect of remote ischaemic conditioning on long-term clinical outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS From February 2007 to November 2008, 333 patients with a suspected first acute ST-elevation myocardial infa...
