Abstract

Improvement in microvascular function in the infarcted territory is associated with reduction in IS after reperfused ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction. This link suggests that further investigations are warranted to determine whether therapeutic protection of microvascular integrity results in augmentation of infarct healing.
