Background Reperfusion is the mainstay treatment for patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Nevertheless, reperfusion itself may exacerbate myocardial injury, a process termed “reperfusion injury”. Post-conditioning (PostC) has been suggested to reduce myocardial damage during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), nevertheless clinical experience is limited. Objectives We aimed to review all the known strategies to limit the reperfusion injury; moreover we explored the cardioprotective effect of mechanical postconditioning conducting a randomized trial aimed to evalutate infarct size (IS) at cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in STEMI patients treated by PPCI. Methods A total of 78 patients with f...
