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%
