Abstract
Early reperfusion of the infarct-related coronary artery is very much effective to treat the patients with acute myocardial infraction. However, there are many clinical as well as experimental evidences supporting the efficacy of late reperfusion therapy. In this article, effects of late reperfusion on mortality, left ventricular function, left ventricular dilatation and remodeling, or electrical stability were summarized. Also, the possible mechanisms for benefits of late reperfusion were discussed and the special role of epicardial rim bring about those benefits was emphasized.Entities:
