Natural History
Hypothetical assessment of Reperfusion injury and possible improvement:
| Scenario | Clinical course | Infarct size (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Presentation | Myocardial ischemia | 80 |
| Best scenario (hypothetical) | Ischemia + Reperfusion (no reperfusion injury) | 0 |
| Actual | Ischemia + Reperfusion + Reperfusion injury | 40 |
| GOAL (with treatment) | Ischemia + Reperfusion + Reperfusion injury + Myocardial protection | 5-10% |
