Abstract

Recent studies suggest that patients with angina before myocardial infarction exhibit improved recovery of coronary perfusion after thrombolysis by an as-yet-unknown mechanism. We therefore proposed that brief antecedent ischemia/reperfusion may, via release of adenosine, improve vessel patency in damaged and stenotic coronary arteries.
