Description: Timely coronary artery reperfusion is essential to prevent myocyte death following myocardial infarction. The act of restoring blood flow however, paradoxically reduces the beneficial effects of reperfusion. This phenomenon, termed myocardial reperfusion injury, refers to the injury of cardiac myocytes that were viable immediately before reperfusion.
