Summary
This study tested whether giving N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), a common antioxidant, directly into the heart arteries during a heart attack procedure can reduce injury and improve recovery. Researchers measured markers of stress, inflammation, and heart cell death in 70 adults aged 30-60. The goal was to see if this approach limits damage and helps patients walk farther after recovery.
