The possibility of limiting ischemic myocardial injury has been a major focus of cardiovascular research over 4 decades and literally thousands of interventions have been tested in this direction. Unfortunately, this has been a long, unsolved saga, and, apart from reperfusion, most interventions have been largely unsuccessful at the clinical arena. With the advent of clinical forms of reperfusion, the goal of these studies has slightly changed to identify adjuvant therapies that protect the myocardium from reperfusion injury. However, essentially […]
