Mechano-chronotropic Unloading During the Acute Phase of Myocardial Infarction Markedly Reduces Infarct Size via the Suppression of Myocardial Oxygen Consumption
{{output}}
The oxygen supply-demand imbalance is the fundamental pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI). Reducing myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) in acute MI (AMI) reduces infarct size. Since left ventricular (LV) mechanical work and heart rate are major dete... ...
