Abstract

Resveratrol is a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant flavinoid found in red wine. Resveratrol has been shown to improve ventricular function and decrease lactic dehydrogenase release after ischemia in rats. The aim of this study was to test whether resveratrol could provide direct cardioprotection to myocytes during acute myocardial infarction.
