Reperfusion injury is an inherent response to the restoration of blood flow after ischemia. It is
a complex process involving numerous mechanisms occurring in the intracellular and …

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is an important cause of impaired heart function in
the early postoperative period subsequent to cardiac surgery. Reactive oxygen species …

Increasingly complex behavior of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are noted
within biological systems. Classically free radicals and ROS were considered injurious …

Ischemia‐reperfusion injury of the myocardium has long been a subject of intense research.
Cardiac preconditioning, an associated phenomenon, has also been critically investigated …

Myocardial ischemia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Although
restoration of blood flow after prolonged ischemia is essential for cardiomyocytes salvation …

Myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion (I/R) injury is experienced by individuals suffering from
cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart diseases and subsequently undergoing …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed at an accelerated rate in postischemic
myocardium. Cardiac myocytes, endothelial cells, and infiltrating neutrophils contribute to …

The present review summarizes the beneficial and detrimental roles of reactive oxygen
species in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection. In the first part, the …

A well-balanced intercellular communication between the different cells within the heart is
vital for the maintenance of cardiac homeostasis and function. Despite remarkable advances …

Myocardial function is dependent on a constant supply of oxygen from the coronary
circulation. A reduction of oxygen supply due to coronary obstruction results in myocardial …
