New heart attack technique aims to save more muscle
NCT ID NCT01208727
Summary
This study tested whether a technique called 'postconditioning' could reduce heart muscle damage during heart attack treatment. Researchers worked with 44 patients who had their first heart attack and needed emergency artery-opening procedures. They used special heart imaging to see if the technique helped improve blood flow to damaged areas after reopening blocked arteries.
