High-dose intracoronary adenosine for myocardial salvage in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Abstract
AIMS: Previous studies have suggested that intravenous administration of adenosine improves myocardial reperfusion and reduces infarct size in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Intracoronary administration of adenosine has shown conflicting results.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In a prospective, single-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, we assessed whether selective intracoronary administration of adenosine …
