Why the study?
Does late reperfusion of the infarct-related coronary artery reduce left ventricular remodelling and decrease mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Does late reperfusion of the infarct-related coronary artery reduce left ventricular remodelling and decrease mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
This review highlights that despite experimental support for the 'open artery hypothesis', recent large randomized trials do not support the clinical efficacy of late reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction.
