Why the study?
Does modestly elevated blood pressure during reperfusion reduce no reflow area and infarct size in a porcine model of ischemia-reperfusion?
Does modestly elevated blood pressure during reperfusion reduce no reflow area and infarct size in a porcine model of ischemia-reperfusion?
In a porcine model of ischemia-reperfusion, modestly elevating blood pressure during reperfusion paradoxically increased both the no reflow area and infarct size.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Elevated reperfusion pressure may worsen no-reflow and infarct size in porcine models; leaves optimal BP targets open for translational research.
Pantsios et al. (2015) studied this question.
