Reperfusion is mandatory to salvage ischemic myocardium from infarction, but reperfusion
per se contributes to injury and ultimate infarct size. Therefore, cardioprotection beyond that …

The translation from numerous successful animal experiments on cardioprotection beyond
that by reperfusion to clinical practice has to date been disappointing. Animal experiments …

Background: Although the prognostic value of findings from cardiac magnetic resonance
(CMR) imaging has been established in single-center center studies in patients with ST …

Although mortality after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) is on the decline,
the number of patients developing heart failure as a result of MI is on the rise. Apart from …

Cardioprotective strategies aim to salvage myocardium from ischemia/reperfusion injury and
to reduce infarct size and its consequences. Different stimuli, acting at sites remote from the …

The mortality from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains significant, and the prevalence
of post-myocardial infarction heart failure is increasing. Therefore, cardioprotection beyond …

intervention (PCI) induced by repetitive interruptions of blood flow to the ischemic …

Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles released by numerous cell types that appear to have
diverse beneficial effects on the injured heart. Studies using exosomes from stem cells or …

The goal of this study was to review the prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance
(CMR) imaging findings for future cardiovascular events in patients with a recent myocardial …
