Postconditioning the Human Heart in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
2010
Clinical Cardiology
It has been proved in animal models that postconditioning (PC) could attenuate reperfusion injury. But there are not many clinical studies on the application of PC.

Methods: Forty-three patients diagnosed with acute MI
