Abstract

A1 adenosine receptor antagonists significantly reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury of the heart. A1 adenosine receptor antagonists may be useful for the prevention or early treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the heart after coronary artery bypass graft surgery or cardiac transplant surgery and during or after angioplasty or thrombolytic therapy of the heart.
