Abstract:
50% resolution of elevated ST-segment in 1h after PCI was increased in the L-CN treated group. LVEDD was less but LVEF was higher in the treatment group compared with the control group 3 months after PCI. Conclusion L-CN has significant myocardial protection effects in patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI, which is characterized by inhibition of the reperfusion injury , reduction of infarction area and improvement of left ventricular remodeling.
