reperfusion therapy

reperfusion therapy

Cardiology Any therapy–eg, thrombolytic therapy-tPA, stenting, or immediate percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty-IPCTA–intended to ensure continued blood flow–and oxygenation through a vascular bed acutely compromised by vasospasm or thrombosis, especially post acute MI. See tPA, Trials.

MRAs such as spironolactone and eplerenone can offset the damaging effect of high aldosterone levels - which rise immediately after a heart attack augmenting the benefits of optimal standard therapy including reperfusion therapy, beta-blockers, dual antiplatelet therapy, statins and ACE inhibitors, explained Prof Beygui.
