Does postconditioning improve coronary blood flow velocity and endothelial function in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI?
Postconditioning during primary PCI for AMI improves coronary blood flow velocity, reduces myocardial injury markers, and preserves endothelial function.

Supports adjunctive postconditioning in primary PCI for AMI; extends surrogate benefits to RCT evidence.
Ma et al. (2006) conducted an RCT in Acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Postconditioning vs. Ischemic-reperfusion (IR) was evaluated on Coronary blood flow velocity (CTFC) and endothelial function. Postconditioning improved coronary blood flow velocity and endothelial function in AMI patients undergoing primary PCI, with a significant negative correlation between WMSI and CTFC (r = -0.79, p < 0.01).
