Abstract
Ischemic postconditioning during PCI in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction appears to be superior to PCI alone in reduction of both myocardial injury or damage and improvement in global and regional left ventricular function. The effect seems to be more pronounced when a greater myocardial area is at risk. Given the limitations of the current available evidence, additional data from large randomized controlled trials are warranted.
